[Multi] Star Wars: Battlefront 2

Zitat aus einem Post von wacht

Ich weis ja net wie es hier ist aber in der Battlefield Serie gibts doch einige Unterschiede: die Unlocks dauern nicht so lange und man hat nicht den dramatischen Vorteil dadurch. Zumindest in BF1 Vanilla gibts zwar andere Waffen freizuschalten, aber es ist jetzt nicht so das die immer besser werden und man ohne paniert wird.

Star Wars game faces further backlash

Many players were unhappy about the credits that unlock key Star Wars characters.
The number required has now been reduced but so has the number that can be earned through gameplay. The alternative is to purchase them.
Others have complained about the use of "loot crates" - which some say are essentially a gambling tool.
The crates are virtual boxes that are purchased within the game and contain mystery bonuses.
Critics say they promote gambling as the contents of the boxes are revealed only after payment is received, and some are more useful than others.
Electronic Arts (EA) has been contacted by the BBC for comment.

Should Disney And LucasFilm Be Worried About 'Star Wars: Battlefront II'?

If I were an executive at Disney or a producer at LucasFilm involved in not just the making of the next Star Wars film, but in managing the sanctity of the Star Wars brand, I might be the slightest bit concerned over the latest headlines.

Specifically, I might be concerned over the massive backlash EA's Star Wars: Battlefront II is facing from fans upset over the game's economy and progression systems. The controversy stems from the game's system of loot boxes which players can purchase on top of the base game to earn special rewards.

Setting aside the question of whether or not said loot boxes are a form of gambling aimed at least in part at children---and I do believe they are---in this specific case, the game's loot boxes also create unfair advantages for players who shell out extra cash.


If I were a Disney executive or a producer at LucasFilm, I might find this troubling. These are not things I'd want associated with such a precious IP as Star Wars.

While all eyes are on the Reddit AMA going on with the Star Wars Battlefront II developers today, that’s not the only subject of interest for the game today. It seems one governmental organization is investigating whether the game’s loot box system should be classified as gambling.

According to VTM News, the Belgian Gaming Commission - which regulates all gambling in the country - is currently investigating whether or not loot crates in the game should be categorized as gambling.
