Electronic Arts folded tail and changed prices of heroes in the Star Wars Battlefront II
Electronic Arts in the past two days has found itself under the fire from angry players. In the trial version of Star Wars Battlefront II it was revealed that for unlocking some of the characters without spending more money it would take about 40 hours of gameplay, on what representative from Electronic Arts replied that with this is their goal to allow players a sense of pride and achievement once they unlock the characters. That answer became the most negatively rated answer in Reddit's history and was downvoted by almost half a million people.
New Day, new politics in Electronic Arts. Seeing how the players were infuriated about their game, they immediately cut down the demands for unlocking the characters. When the game comes out in three days, controversial characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader will be able to unlock for 75% smaller amount than until now. In other words, for a sense of pride and achievement when unlocking the characters, you will need approximately ten hours of playing.
As part of image restoration of the company, representatives of Electronic Arts tomorrow will participate in Reddit AMA sessions. We doubt that it will think twice before they say anything.
