Players may have loot boxes would be returning at some point in the future. 6h1f2a
“The ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at a share more details as we work through this.”
So, this brings forth a couple of questions:
- How could they bring this back in a way that won’t create outrage?
- How will they recover from the death of microtransactions?
EA stated in an SEC filing that, “this change is not expected to have a material impact on EA’s sales from the base game at $60/box are going to be down from BF1, and BF2 is not being sold with an expensive season like its predecessor, how can they hope to recoup the losses of cutting out the loot boxes?
In their attempt to get as much money as they could from their players, EA has now ironically loot box based model, that has now been canceled. Now, it’s not possible for them to switch back without creating the biggest uproar imaginable. What if they said now, after canceling loot boxes, that they’re going to start charging for new maps and heroes? People will lose it.
It’s also difficult to see how they will be able to bring back progress based bring it back, or maybe they are still trying to figure out how to do that without killing what’s left of their playerbase. Only time will tell.
Do you think loot crates are gone for good, or will EA find a way to bring them back that doesn’t alienate all of their players?
