I remember being one of the first few people to report here that it would have pay2win lootboxes and CE of course did what CE does, denied any of it to be truth and exonerated EA while saying I was a troll/shitposter who had no idea what I was talking about that was until the game actually dropped and it became cool to jump on the hate bandwagon completely flip flopping on the stance they had (That EA are innocent and are doing nothing wrong) in a matter of days

Funny how that works

Ugh, that was such a shitshow.

The game itself was actually pretty fun. They took a lot of criticism of the first game to heart and made some good efforts. The lootboxes were garbage, but they immediately removed them when people got upset. I thought, "good, it's over, that'll be the end of it".

Then people got into such a blind fury that they started literally inviting their governments to intervene in the gaming industry to regulate it just to get back at EA. After years of telling the government that gamers can be from all age groups, we come up with some, "Games are for kids and therefore Battlefront is trying to get kids to gamble!" bullshit (not to mention that you seriously have to mangle the definition of gambling to achieve that label in this case).

Like, a bad game is a bad game and a bad production decision is a bad production decision. Stop fucking supporting these companies and leave it at that.

Can we just arrive at a time period already where we don't organize mass cyber-riots over the pettiest shit?

People (outside of obvious trolls tying to fan the fire) were defending it? I guess I was in an alternate dimension.

Reading is hard

I'm not sure what reading being hard has to do with anything, but I don't recall any point at which a majority of people on CE were defending it, and I remember this because I was one of the few who were defending it

The Single player was a 4 hour bait and switch campaign while all the free content was because they wanted to milk you through pay2win lootboxes.

Is this bait?

I don't know, is bitching about a game that came out a year ago and already failed bait?
