It seems like just yesterday that Activision was facing a historic number of dislikes on its Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare announcement trailer, while EA was garnering goodwill with its Battlefield 1 trailer. Now, though, EA's getting a taste of a similarly intense backlash. EA took to Reddit recently to respond to player concern about Star Wars: Battlefront II's loot boxes, and the post has apparently received the most downvotes ever--by a huge margin.

Some fans began expressing frustration and anger toward the game when it came to light that you could only gain access to certain heroes through loot boxes. Further, rough calculations estimated that it would take upwards of 40 hours to earn enough in-game currency to purchase the boxes--meaning that you were either in for a long grind, or you could pay real money to get more loot boxes to get in-game currency more quickly.
