WTF were they smoking?
Let me explain.
I received a free deluxe copy of battlefront 2 (Still free on epic). Not only was it free, but is is an ultra-deluxe edition. But what exactly does it unlock? It does unlock 95 percent of all skins.

Why does it matter? Well...
It is a multiplayer game with 2 types of loot hidden in loot boxes. Skins, that do not effect gameplay in slightest and stat cards, that change your abilities. There used to be a 3ed unlockable heroes, but these were removed after a backlash.

So, I got a new game. When I play MP, I am in statistical disadvantage, that will make the game unfair/boring. Ok, but at least I can play it to..... wait a minute. I already have the skins...

They took the strong psychological incentive to play the game, and threw it away, so when I play to get loot boxes, I know I won't unlock anything I care about. :awooREEE:

I got a finished game without a new game button.

EA... you cannot explain this level of stupidity.

@LukeAlmighty >getting a game on Epic Games Launcher

Not even once, not even for free.

And in regards to Battlefront 2: I didn't keep up with it, I only know how it was when it was released (horrible) and that they supposedly reworked it after Disney slapped them behind the scenes.

I still can't imagine that they fixed it, because it seemed fundamentally broken and, most importantly, boring - I know, hard to imagine for a Star Wars game, but that's EA's multiplayer magic.

As for the unlocked skins: I see your point, but shouldn't a game be fun on its own? Surely there are some things left to unlock, modes to play and also achievements.

BTW, I am seriously considering contacting support to remove my premium edition from the game.

@LukeAlmighty I don't think it will make the game more enjoyable. If anything, I doubt you'll ever be able to unlock everything normally, because I highly doubt the longevity of the game and that it will motivate you enough to want to unlock everything.
