Battlefront 2 Doesn’t Have A Progression Problem, It Has An EA Problem

Josh from The Total Bro, "Another day, another major publishing company is once again trying to gouge money from a fan base it doesn’t care about in a greedy attempt to maximize profits that they don’t need...The issues with Battlefront 2 go above and beyond the norm, though. The difference between the usual publisher scam and this one with EA is the heavy handedness of it all. They thought they could get away with the most egregious microtransanction power move made by any company to date and in a way they will."

This game will sale because of the name of the game but the player drop off will be epic after people beat the story

Is that why the previous Star Wars Battlefront game sold? Oh yeah they didn't actually sell that well did they? The Battlefront that DICE made went on to sell better than both The Originals combined please stop trying to pretend that every single last Star Wars game goes on to move massive numbers because that is completely incorrect.

There's a great reason why Battlefront is moving these numbers in a lot of it is because it's behind a very solid developer.

People generally are not going to be buying games they don't like 😎

I mean based on your logic the Transformers and Harry Potter games should be moving GTA numbers 😂😂😂

Well it has both to be honest, but EA are the root cause. Having class progression behind RNG was never ever a good shout, you spend 2-3 hours on it one evening with your favourite class, you unlock a crate, you open said crate to get a star-card to support a class you don't actually play. Then you get angry and put £10 down to open some more crates in frustration, hoping to get something to actually give your class a boost.

"I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

LOL

Anyway, let's wait and see maybe Mia Khalifa will surprise us.

I’m on the fence about her. I’ll give her chance, but if she is there to finish things off. Well what can you do.

After seeing the article of the possible sunsetting of Xbox as said by Seamus Blackley I believe, I went onto X because of a post I saw. It was a gif of Vegeta powering up, the poster commented as Vegeta yelling “Don’t take my fiercest competitor away from me.” Standing there in his blue Sayian/Freiza corps outfit. So it got me to thinking, so let me ask a question to N4G.

If Vegeta is PlayStation, who would Xbox and Nintendo be in the Dragon Ball universe?

Who would be Master Roshi?

I have my own opinion of course, I just want to see what others think.
