Star Wars Battlefront 2 Microtransactions Temporarily Turned Off
EA DICE temporarily disabled Star Wars Battlefront 2 microtransactions, as announced in a blog post. This move was done after outraged fans voiced out their disappointments to the game’s in-game purchases. This even led the developers to a Reddid AMA which did not turn out well as they have planned.

“It’s clear that many of you feel there are still challenges in the design. We’ve heard the concerns about potentially giving players unfair advantages. And we’ve heard that this is overshadowing an otherwise great game. This was never our intention. Sorry we didn’t get this right,” the blog post said.
The developers will take this time to focus on “listening, adjusting, balancing, and tuning.”
“The ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at a later date, only after we’ve made changes to the game. We’ll share more details as we work through this.”
