Star Wars Battlefront II Could Stay Without MTX
Every time I say this is the last time I talk about Star Wars Battlefront II it has some update. So, once again, I am forced to talk about it because journalistic integrity or something along those lines*. So, according to Electronic Arts, the game might actually stay as a grind fest without Microtransactions or MTX.
Let’s remember that Electronic Arts had imposed this decision as a temporary measure. However, there has been some consideration from the company and it seems like Loot Boxes and MTX will go away and never return. Now the game has turned into a boring grind-fest that has a lot of unfair advantages, yay.
This could be a response to the fact that Disney interceded on this decision. The reason behind Mickey Mouse stepping in seems to be the controversy that has picked up a ton of air for the general public.
There was a lot of discussion in regards to the legality of the Loot Boxes and MTX from different government organizations. These organizations come from countries like Belgium, France and Australia, all of them bringing the question about whether or not these should be considered gambling.
At the time, EA said that microtransactions would “become available at a later date, only after we’ve made changes to the game.” But a meeting with the Nasdaq Investor Conference on Tuesday saw a different approach.
EA CFO Blake Jorgensen noted that microtransactions may not return to the game when asked about how the company is dealing with the backlash. He briefly mentions that they are focused on listening to the consumer and understanding them to continue evolving.
I mean, kudos for the Battlefront II users, I suppose. We’ll see improvements to the player progression system and MTX might be removed from the game. Once again, though, I ask “So what?”. I mean, we all know that EA already has another cow to use with UFC 3, right?

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.
The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.
The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.
We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.
PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?
According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.
Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
