After the debacle around Star Wars Battlefront II last year, Belgium is putting a ban on games with loot boxes akin to those in Overwatch, Counter-Strike and FIFA 18.

Until the end of time itself, Star Wars Battlefront II will be a testament to the idea of microtransactions without limits. Overall, its been a harsh lesson for EA to learn from. A lesson that they say, has resulted in them rethinking how they’ll use microtransactions in the future.

Star Wars Battlefront II performed well worse than EA expected, and so microtransactions are definitely coming back soon.

Boycott? What boycott? Star Wars Battlefront 2 was the best-selling game onthe PlayStation store in December, after selling 1.3m units at retail in its first week.

A tale of two galaxies apart, Star Wars Battlefront II is a big stride forward in the right direction that's yanked strongly backwards by overly complicated and predatory business decisions.

Amid a large storm of backlash following pricing during the game's Early Trial, EA have adjusted how much Hero characters are to cost in Star Wars Battlefront II.

Despite EA's changes post the beta, Battlefront II still rewards players handsomly for spending lots of money on loot crates, while making the playing field severe stacked against those who don't.

Star Wars Battlefront II's first season of free DLC kicks off as early as next month, and it's going to include an exclusive look at the formation of the First Order.
