But Electronic Arts has been surprisingly frank about loot boxes as of late and said fairness is its top concern.
Battlefront 2’s loot box system had to be completely overhauled after an enormous fan backlash, while Electronic Arts’ stock price took a hit and governments debated whether or not loot boxes were gambling.
To say that Electronic Arts got itself in a little bit of hot water with its original plan for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 loot boxes would be one of the year’s biggest understatements.
Opening this line of dialogue is clearly a move that makes sense for Electronic Arts after the Netherlands ruled that some types of loot boxes are gambling.
