The way loot boxes were originally intended to be implemented in Star Wars Battlefront 2, the latest entry in the series developed by DICE, was definitely controversial, and players weren’t happy of it, so much that their voices have been somewhat heard, with the team removing microtransactions for the time being. It seems like, however, EA is not going to give up on them entirely.

Speaking at the Credit Suisse 21st Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen stated that the publisher is not going to give up on the notion of microtransactions. They are listening to the community to better implement them, but they are not backing out of their strategy.
