MULTI Star Wars: Battlefront II

The Washington Post asked EA if players can be guaranteed that “pay to win” mechanics have been removed from the game.

“With regard to yesterday’s announcement on pulling the in-game purchases for launch, we do not have anything further to share at the moment beyond Oskar’s post,” an EA spokeswoman said in response.

On Thursday, Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of Disney’s consumer products and interactive media division, made a call to EA hours before the decision was made to pull in-game purchases. The Wall Street Journal reported that the call was to express Disney executives’ unhappiness at how the outrage “reflected on their marquee property.” And a Disney/Lucasfilm spokesman said the company supports EA’s temporary decision to end the crate-purchasing.

“Star Wars has always been about the fans — and whether it’s ‘Battlefront’ or any other Star Wars experience, they come first,” the Lucasfilm spokesman told The Post on Friday. “That’s why we support EA’s decision to temporarily remove in-game payments to address fan concerns.”

On Friday, EA filed a note with the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that Thursday’s decision “is not expected to have a material impact on EA’s fiscal year 2018 financial guidance.“

Die gesamte Videospiele-Industrie verfolgt aufmerksam das Drama um Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS4, Xbox One), EA und die Microtransactions. Das schreibt Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director von Bulletstorm und The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

Und er warnt: "Die Zukunft ist eindeutig und klar: Keine Empörung und keine Memes werden noch eine Rolle spielen, wenn Electronic Arts später zwei- oder dreistellige Millionenbeträge durch die In-Game Käufe verdienen wird. Deine Brieftasche hat eine lautere Stimme als Du."

Chmielarz befürchtet, dass andere Spiele das Microtransactions-Modell von Star Wars Battlefront 2 in Zukunft übernehmen könnten, wenn - trotz massiver Kundenbeschwerden - am Ende unterm Strich Millionenbeträge erwirtschaftet werden.

In the response to the beta feedback EA said:

If you get a duplicate Star Card in a crate, you will get crafting parts which you can then use to help upgrade the Star Card of your choice.

But as of right now you only receive credits when you get a duplicate, why is this not talked about more? Seems like it would impact the progression system a lot (in a good way).

Star Wars Battlefront 2 launched with 60 per cent fewer physical sales than Star Wars Battlefront 1.
[...]
Back in 2015, Battlefront 1 was the biggest ever launch for a Star Wars game in the UK. It had an extra day on sale, and Battlefront 2 will have received more digital sales which are not counted by UK numbers company Chart-Track - but it's hard to see either of these facts accounting for the eye-opening plummet.
