Vader is a major character, it's like in Tekken having to complete Eddy's story with all perfects to unlock Jin or Kazuya.

It takes an average of 40 game hours to unlock your first bonus character... you are given several lootboxes in that time.

-43.5k points now, this is legendary.

EA needs to get the message that this shit isn't okay, but as long as people keep paying for the DLC, nothing will change. Sad thing is it's almost exclusively purchased by the shithead spoiled trailer trash Walmart kids that throw tantrums until their high school dropout parent hands them the credit card.

Imagine if in Smash Bros. if Mario, Link, Fox and Pikachu were locked behind dozens if not hundreds of hours of grinding, and you start out with only Mii fighters, Jigglypuff and Ganondorf, but you can speed up the process by spending additional money on top of your game purchase to get those characters.

It's kinda like that.

As much as I don't care for EA's position on DLC, a post of theirs being downvoted to hell won't do shit to deter them from this business strategy. It's simple capitalism. No matter how unpopular it is, they'll keep doing it if it makes them money.

Pretty much. Outrage is nice and all, but if people still bought the game EA won't make any meaningful changes to their strategy.

Wow, 75k now.

At best, they'll make Vader free as a PR move and then continue on as planned. Or they could be like League of Legends recently and "gift" you extra in-game currency daily to make you feel good, at the cost of you leveling up slower. They're not going to lose that profit margin.

The difference being LoL is free and Star wars is not, but either way, the trend of these companies seeing how far they can stretch their customers out needs to stop, and it starts with the customers not throwing money at them.

Single player campaign is like 4 hours long. Just wait for this to be 10 bucks. Or better yet, free 2 play. lol

You can unlock Darth Vader through normal play, its just a grind. Apparently, these whiny children feel like just because you have the option to pay a premium for unlocks, that youre somehow forced to? I dont get it.

If Darth Vader mean that much to you, and you dont want to pay to unlock him, then grind it out and unlock him in-game. Whats the big deal?

I 100% agree with this.

Like others have said, the people whining are probably still going to buy the game. If they are so upset by EA's practices, they shouldn't be buying the game.

I do agree that it's fine for time to be spent unlocking a character, but is 40 hours to just unlock 1 character ok? Is 40 hours per character ok?

And while I know this specific issue is about characters, weren't there more issues with the loot crates? I seem to remember you could also get gameplay enhancing items that do things like make you do more damage.
