“There are no loot boxes in NFS Heat and there won't be. We plan to have post-release paid DLC in the form of car packages. Later this year we will add a time-saver package that will show you collectibles on the map. And that's all,” said Walke.

If the people of EA do not live up to what they promised, it will be the last sale, as this is one of the most anticipated and beloved games, everyone will rebel and talk about the cowardice that EA has committed. According to EA community manager Ben Walke, it was very clear: "There are no lootboxes and there won't be." There were some games that after a month came the gambling boxes. If they lie to us, they will devalue themselves, and everyone will turn on the "damn" mode for EA.
