A report broke after Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s beta that its progression system was entirely loot crates based, essentially rendering the game functionally pay to win.
The interesting thing is that Matthews was asked by Gamespot if the game could conceivably exist without the loot crates system- could he see the game existing in such a form himself?
Star Wars Battlefront 2 launches next month on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
DICE has taken great care to make sure that Star Cards and the way they work give you more options in battle.
