Um disney didnt pick anyone EA had the rights from Lucus Arts from before.

...loot crates are fine in F2P honestly, MT's are how they make their money.

Loot crates and F2P go hand in hand. I was only saying Disney are okay with them but not when there is a spotlight on it.

Uh, it's not the denial of a platform when EA are forcing devs to keep quiet. Unless a pre-existing NDA exists preventing developers from talking about a game that's currently out, they are silencing free speech of each and every dev.

It's a joke mate. Relax.

It's more of a nothing burger at this point!

@warriorcase:
We've gotten to and are well past a point in which publishers try to control the opinion of their games as they focus on profits rather than the actual value of a game. $60 games being designed to manipulate a small minority "willing" to be gouged for more money at the cost of any appeal it might have had towards the general majority. And its a joke.

Yeah, guess it is.

Just like EA has the right to make their games in a way that lures children into online gaming but it doesn't make it morally acceptable.

I'm not defending EA, just stating a fact. I don't buy their games and if you don't like their practices then you shouldn't buy them either.
The company I work for has a policy that employees cannot go on Facebook or any other media outlets and talk about the company or risk being fired.
I know of one guy I worked with that was threatened with the possibility of a defamation lawsuit.

If Disney gave a damn they might have gotten someone to proof read TLJ script before they released that abomination.

@bloop
That movie demonstrates that’s disney could give a shit less about Star Wars in general.
Star Wars is dead to me.
the fact that they shut down Lucas Arts tells me everything I need to know about the games.
Last Jedi was indeed a disaster

As a tribute, I went back and re-watched episodes 4-6... Dang what a great adventure, friendship, and storyline! Great and memorable characters! I mean, come on... Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are iconic household names. The best names they could come up with now is Rey and Finn? This one tiny detail, begins to highlight some much deeper issues... Mainly starting with a CASH GRAB by Disney.

Seriously, every little boy wanted to be Solo or Skywalker, every girl the Princess! Who wants to be a reject stormtrooper? Credit to Kylo Ren though. All my nephews want to be that guy LOL

Agreed

What I think is so funny is that people have yet to even stop to consider that Disney is the one that even gave them the license in the first place. Trust me Disney does not care that Electronic Arts is implementing these type of tactics I would argue that's the exact reason why they even gave them the license. Electronic Arts also scored them the best selling Star Wars game in history this all has to do with money and I just don't believe Disney's going to walk away from money.

People keep saying Disney gave EA the rights blah blah blah. EA had the rights before Disney owned LucasArts and Star Wars the least they did was green light EA's ideas EA has had the right to battlefront from the early 00's on.

@Itt- either provide a link to prove that the licensing deal was something that was current or stop spreading misinformation.

So you have to understand that licensing deals expire they're not something that just remain 100%.

Put it this way do you remember when Nintendo had the James Bond license? Do you remember when Electronic Arts had it? Do you remember when Activision had it?

Sooooooo yea.

When this deal first happened nowhere that I ever read they were just reminding you of a current deal that existed it's specifically told you that it was done by Disney. ...

It specifically said 10 years

I read nowhere that they're saying they're going to keep them with the license for 10 "more" years and I haven't read anything about them "continuing" a deal.

I mean dear God did you just disregard that Ubisoft made a series of Star Wars games?

So this deal was made by Disney, I have read nowhere that shows otherwise.

You want everyone to consider. That's why you use the word so much. You have to consider that you use the word 'consider' a lot. You have to consider that you think it makes you look intelligent in your long rambling speeches, but you have to consider that it doesn't.

I mean you have to consider that.
