EA's beta test for Star Wars Battlefront II has concluded. It showcased the game's new weapons, maps, heroes, and increased depth, but much of the discussion surrounding the game has centered around something that wasn't actually in the beta: microtransactions. Battlefront II will give away things like maps and character DLC for free, but it will use a loot box-style system for unlocking various upgrades that has fans concerned. We recently discussed how Battlefront II's microtransactions work and why they are a big problem, but developer DICE has now spoken out to try to assuage fears that the game will be pay-to-win.
