EA's repeated insistence that it was taking the feedback seriously and changing the system in response did little to appease the angry fans.
And for the most part, people were fine with that.īattlefront II got microtransactions so wrong it may have got them rightīut as the company revealed exactly how the system would be implemented, details like how long it would take to unlock things without paying and what sort of advantages paying players could expect in multiplayer matches rankled players. At the time, the understanding was that EA would introduce a system for unlocking content within the game, where progress could either be earned through gameplay or purchased through microtransactions. After all, the Season Pass split the player base into people with the DLC and without, preventing them from enjoying new maps and game modes together. When Electronic Arts announced at E3 that it was scrapping the Season Pass model for Battlefront II, the move was met warmly by players. I would suggest that it has also provided a model for publishers to follow in the future. The run-up to launch for Star Wars: Battlefront II has been, to put it bluntly, a fiasco.
