They keep releasing gobs of content and toons that will eventually become free. Why would people complain about this? I dont understand.

Because they it them now and dont want to wait while someone else spends money to get it now. It's the everyone should be able to get the same stuff argument. And the forums make it easy to complain.

Everything in life works this way. Companies sell things to stay in business. If they didnt make money they would close up shop and not sell things anymore. I agree that EA makes a ton of money. But each game is a separate business that has it's own profit margin that it needs to meet. So if SWGOH sees a decline EA cuts their budget. A budget cut would mean less content and developers.

They have to create a steady source of income to not only justify that amount of work they put into this but also to keep their jobs for said work.

Sorry but a completely irrelevant argumant there. They make plenty of money and more importantly there are an obscene amount of other f2p games on mobile/pc/console that are for more successful and bring in far greater profits than this game without pulling the stuff they pull. And a lot of them are far more complex, require more resources and offer a lot more playable content. Fortnite broke $1 billion in revenue in July after going to a f2p model and the in-game loot that can bought doesn't even give players an advantage over other players (like in this game). Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, Fire Emblem Heroes, Pokemon Go, Fortnite, Warframe, Hearth Stone, Heroes of the Storm, League of Legends, Dota 2 etc all do quite well and are far more accessible to players than this game. So tell me how are those games so successful and how do they make so much money without resorting to money grabs like this game does? I'm sorry but it all comes down to greed. Look what EA did with Battlefront 2, look at how every other major gaming company complied with new EU regulations except for EA (and now they may be facing criminal investigation as a result). Not for anything but EA wasn't voted the worst company in the US two years in a row for no reason. They're renowned for being greedy and for screwing players.

*Also gobs of content is a bit of a stretch. Releasing content that can only be completed once doesn't really count nor does releasing content that is broken and refusing to address it. It's not like they are pumping out new raids, cantina/dark side/light side nodes, TWs/TBs or brand new types of events. Like c'mon big deal they released a marquee that can be auto battled and completed in 10 minutes and than never done again. That's not exactly an abundant amount of time dedicated to coding for them and they don't have to do character or story development, so no excuse for the oh so many issues in this game...And for that matter anyone who knows programming can tell you that this game isn't a hard game to code for. Its pretty basic.
