Comics in the news

In recent Star Wars news, EA’s Battlefront 2 suffered some major losses earlier this week with the new revelation that heroes would have to be unlocked through over 40 hours of game play for each character.

Heroes like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker would not be playable until you waste an entire week trying to unlock at least one hero. Now EA has seemed to correct the problem by lowering prices of the heroes by 75%. This may seem okay but EA has also lowered how many credits you receive to purchase the characters in the multiplayer battles, so you have a lower number you receive.

When news of this story broke, the gaming community was outraged by the news. EA posted a statement on Reddit saying “They wanted players to have a sense of pride and achievement for the players.” This statement soon became the most down voted comment on Reddit history, and the game is still constantly getting criticized.
