Spel som Call of Duty: WWII, Middle-earth: Shadow of War och framför allt Star Wars Battlefront II har fått rejält med kritik för sina aggressiva mikrotransaktioner som klpr spelare på pengar. Men om vi får tro analytikern Evan Wingren från KeyBanc Capital Markets så är de faktiskt för billiga, snarare än något annat:
"We view the negative reaction to Star Wars Battlefront 2 (and industry trading sympathy) as an opportunity to add to Electronic Arts, Take-Two, and Activision Blizzard positions. The handling of the SWBF2 launch by EA has been poor; despite this, we view the suspension of MTX [micro-transactions] in the near term as a transitory risk.
Gamers aren't overcharged, they're undercharged (and we're gamers) ... This saga has been a perfect storm for overreaction as it involves EA, Star Wars, Reddit, and certain purist gaming journalists/outlets who dislike MTX."

Imperiet gillar loot-lådor. Tror vi.
