A falta de comunicado de EA, en la página de Star Wars Battlefront II se ha publicado una noticia en la que anuncian que dan marcha atrás con las polémicas microtransacciones justo el día del lanzamiento.
Esta decisión llega después de una semana en la que EA no ha parado de recibir críticas por lo abusivo del sistema de progresión, que prácticamente obligaba a comprar cristales para conseguir a todos los héroes.
Ahora mismo, se han desactivado las compras de cristales dentro del juego y el progreso se conseguirá únicamente jugando. Aun así, la posibilidad de comprarlos volverá más adelante cuando decidan qué cambios hacer en el sistema.
Thank you to everyone in our community for being the passionate fans that you are.
Our goal has always been to create the best possible game for all of you – devoted Star Wars fans and game players alike. We’ve also had an ongoing commitment to constantly listen, tune and evolve the experience as it grows. You’ve seen this with both the major adjustments, and polish, we have made over the past several weeks.
But as we approach the worldwide launch, 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.
We hear you loud and clear, so we’re turning off all in-game purchases. We will now spend more time listening, adjusting, balancing and tuning. This means that the option to purchase crystals in the game is now offline, and all progression will be earned through gameplay. 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.
We have created a game that is built on your input, and it will continue to evolve and grow. Star Wars Battlefront II is three times the size of the previous game, bringing to life a brand new Star Wars story, space battles, epic new multiplayer experiences across all three Star Wars eras, with more free content to come. We want you to enjoy it, so please keep your thoughts coming. And we will keep you updated on our progress.
