EA is extremely aware of the situation with Battlefront 2. The Kyber information may help some players but is irrelevant to the situation.
My accounts have been banned here after disclosing my affiliations - just watch PC Gamer and Kotaku over the next few days. It's going to be interesting to see how EA refutes this. There are a plethora of employees that have been willing to speak with us.
tl;dr - EA's C-Suite never got over the backlash on Reddit and Micros over this game and pulled the plug years ago. You have no idea how amazing the continued game was supposed to be.
This is the Endgame. They will likely shut down servers before taking any meanful action - according to all my colleagues and sources. I'm sorry to have to share this. I love this game.
Would this also have any relation to people such as myself being banned for “cheating”?
I know for a fact I have not cheated, and yet got banned a few weeks ago, and they won’t do anything other than what seems to be an automated response. My boys and I liked to play it together online, but can’t do that now. I don’t know what avenue to take, as I’ve already tried their “help” page several times. It was useless.
I'd start asking your "boys" which one in the party was running hacks while you were playing with them and unaware.
I already know they didn’t hack. They don’t have the computer knowledge on how to hack, nor do I, honestly. I don’t think they even know how to download a file, if that is what it would take to do it. In fact, they often complain to me about people who are cheating… like seeing people change the character they’re using while standing in front of them, or flying (while not being a character that is capable). Killing them in a couple shots from long ways across the map with a gun that is not accurate enough to do that…. Etc.
We have no desire to cheat. I know my boys well. I am 100% confident that they have not cheated either.
