@quenaelin I still disagree with the concept of pay-to-win games, and again I'll say that that is not something you can change my mind on.
You seem to imply heavily through your messages that I'm not aware of how companies make money.
Know this: if EA has stated that they are going to keep the servers online (something that not only costs money, but server space as well) and expect the rest of the income for Battlefront 2 to come from more game purchases and the occasional purchase of crystals, then I don't see a problem with them continuing the live service - for free - in the future.

@TheGamerSeal I don't know what you know, but you say you don't believe in monetization in games which is really big business right now and makes huge profits, it doesn't have anything to do what you believe or I believe what is right to do when making money, we can believe and hope what we want, but business is business and people buy what they want. People buy lot of FIFA gambling cards if they want, many people likes gambling games and in these video gambling games you even can't loose money, you always get something when you buy cards. Only reason what I can think of why EA decided to end live service for this game is that their profit is declining and profit needs to be much high for continuing live support any longer, I doubt they will start live service for this game again. This game must have been pay-to-win game or free-to-play to become more profitable to be able to continue live service longer time. You don't maybe believe in monetization inside game, but you can't believe in constant live service either if you can't believe in monetization, live service needs lot of profit to be able to keep going. I only want to point out that big companies are bigger so their costs are bigger and also profit needs to be bigger and if we wan't constant live services then companies needs as much money as profitable pay once game is bringing to their pockets or even more, otherwise it isn't profitable for them. We only can wait and see, maybe we get Star Wars Battlefront 3 instead, who knows.

Get PC, make your own skins or choose from the massive libraries of several different websites. - 6 years ago

Rando On The Street: Woah.
Time Traveler: What year is it?
Rando On The Street: 2020
Time Traveler: Damn, four more years until Shrek 7 releases.
Rando On The Street: :D - 6 years ago@TheGamerSeal No problem, of course we get all content updates and support free, as long as game sells good or monetization works and money is being flowed from every door and window in to developers and investors pockets. All big gaming companies work this way, Epic Games, 2K, EA, there aren't any exceptions but perhaps smaller indie developers, they don't need as much money because their companies aren't listed.
