I linked to the discussion of the post getting downvotes.

Here's a direct link to the post for anyone else: EACommunityTeam comments on Seriously? I paid 80$ to have Vader locked?

Lol, they deserve all of this. Battlefront 2 is significantly iced up thanks to them and they deserve all the shame that's being flung at them.

115k downvotes..

im almost expecting to go to sleep and wake up to 200k.

It's at 200k.
This may actually effect sales

hopefully it will. and hopefully this loot box and microtransaction thing effects reviews big time. if it reviews low, and has all this controversy around it then it certainly can affect its sales.

I guess I don't really understand what's going on.

Or if I do understand, I am a little surprised at how much negativity there is.

The beta state of the game was the most pay to win battleship I've ever seen in a $60 game, by a long long long way. And they've gone some way to fix it but it's nowhere near enough, as you can see by people's reactions to this.

Battlefront 2 gonna have the biggest drop of a sequel this gen?

[DD_Bwest]

rofl right now it has more down votes then the next top 57 combined..  and since its that far down the list, it adds another to that combined total ever 2k.  infact its gone from 54 to 57 in the last 5 minutes.

i hope this manages to top the rest of the entire list combined.. lol (for ref. thats -351399)

The EA comment imo isn't too bad but it's given people an outlet to express their dislike of the situation.

I didn't downvote it but it would be awesome if publishers scaled back their microtransaction plans.



This post could end up having more downvotes than the most upvoted post has upvotes.

Looks like it will.

344,000 downvotes holy wow.  

So is the thing like boxes of loot, where in order to get something you have to play for 40 hours to get it?
