Star Wars Battlefront 2's loot box fiasco, along with the increase in Day 1 Patches in gaming that are critical to the game have started to RUIN gaming. As consumers, we need to stand up and speak out against these issues and vote with our WALLET.

To me games like Candy Crush are okay because they're free to play. I enjoyed the game until I felt I hit a play wall. I must have spent like $12 on it.

Okay joking aside. I'm more open to buy this. But I'm not going to buy the game just yet. I'm going to go back to my old stance of waiting for reviews.

I'm pretty sure Disney grabbed EA, put them over their lap and spanked them.

A small victory for Gamers as EA scrambles to damage control from their blatant attempt to convert our AAA games into Pay2Win Mobile Games! Investors are pissed that so much attention is on their biggest part of EA's Digital Business!

The issue is that they’re probably just going to bring them back after people buy the game

Yeah. Angry Joe predicted in his video that it'll probably come back in January.

We view the negative reaction to Star Wars Battlefront 2 (and industry trading sympathy) as an opportunity to add to Electronic Arts, Take-Two, and Activision Blizzard positions. The handling of the SWBF2 launch by EA has been poor; despite this, we view the suspension of MTX [micro-transactions] in the near term as a transitory risk...
