Well, Crystals are gone for now

An Update on Star Wars Battlefront II. I read somewhere the recent AMA didn't go so well. Haven't read through it yet. Crystal purchases seem to be gone, for now: Wonder where we go from her...

Well if they bring it back and it's only cosmetic garbage. Then I'll stay gone and spend my money elsewhere on other games. Cosmetics do nothing for me. As my play time is very limited.

Game suddenly turned from having a balancing point for those that can't play often. To straight up garbage.

I don't care what they sell. Microtransactions have no bloody place in a 60$+ game. This game is not even finished anyway, we don't even have enough heroes to get rid ot the cross-era bs.

Micro transactions are in damn near every game these days. It's how companies keep their employees. Also how they can offer free dlc's. Maybe you have just been ignorant to them. Who cares what you like. It should be balanced for all that play. Not just some crying baby. That doesn't like an aspect of a game. One that they can't afford. Or two they don't have a life so they are always on the game.

    Word is that the head of Disney called EA to sort it all out and a few hours after that EA removed microtransactions. Oh to be a fly on the wall when Disney told EA they are blackening the Disney name with their shify business practices.
    " Earlier today, Electronic Arts chief executive officer Andrew Wilson had a phone call with The Walt Disney Company chief executive Bob Iger about Star Wars: Battlefront II, according to sources familiar with the situation. A few hours after that call, players are finding out that they can no longer make in-game purchases with real money.

    The foolowing link proves the point of how loot crates are an attempt to give the player less than they would get if they just had normal 'get what you ask and pay for' purchaaes and try to rip them off instead:

    I would be comfortable with normal non gambling micro transactions if they are balanced properly and do not skew progression (best being cosmetic purchases only). We must ensure EA no longer use gambling with loot grates in the game when they bring back micro transactions.
