Många har kritiserat hur EA hanterat mikrotransaktionerna i Star Wars Battlefront II och hoppats att Disney skulle ingripa på något sätt. Men det är inget vi ska räkna med, för nu avslöjar Douglas Reilly från Disney-ägda Lucasfilm att de var inblandade i utvecklingen via en intervju hos Venture Beat:
"Yeah, that's very much true. We have a games team here that I run, that meets with all of our partners, and particularly we spend a lot of time with EA, both on the marketing side and the production teams. We bring in Lucasfilm's story team to help us shape and build the stories we're telling, so they fit in the continuity of all the other things we're doing with the Star Wars universe. So yes, we're very hands-on.
In general, we'll have weekly meetings between the production teams and the marketing teams, with either EA in Redwood Shores or the individual teams in Stockholm and Montreal and Vancouver, wherever they have studios. We have weekly meetings. Then we regularly go and visit in person, probably once a quarter, to sit with them, play builds of the games, walk through progress and where we're going in the future. We're constantly talking, meeting, and engaging with them in a very collaborative way."
Han fortsätter med att berätta hur planerna ser ut och hur de arbetar:
"Sometimes it's, hey, where are we going with postlaunch content? Or a game that we haven't even announced yet. Sometimes it's big strategic thinking and sometimes it's all the way down to tactical — 'hey, we need reference for this particular vehicle or model' — that kind of conversation. It runs the gamut all the way from the most truly mundane to the highest levels of, what kind of stories do we tell and how do we want to tell them?
We've come together to create something that I think is a very unique, authentic, broad experience that allows you to have a story campaign, play in multiple planets across multiple eras, with a huge set of heroes and other characters. I think it's a testament, actually, to our ability to work together toward that vision, when you see the end product."
