I'm pretty mad and worried right now, and i have a right to be. This is directly related to star wars Battlefront 2
David Rutter joined the EA team in 2009 which was the first fifa to have the "successful" ulimate team mode, which for those that don't know...generates a large amount of EA's money from gamers buying loot boxes that contain random football players and other bonuses.
Here's a nightmare inducing quote from the CFO of EA in 2017.
"the 'real opportunity' is finding ways to bring a similar concept (Ultimate Team) to other EA games".
"Like Battlefield or Battlefront, our Star Wars game, which are very similar in the depth of play - we can possibly add a similar mechanic to that. We spend a lot of time thinking about it," he said. "Not for tomorrow, but over the next couple of years you're going to see a lot more of that in our portfolio."
