EA’s CFO has offered another response to the Star Wars Battlefront II loot box controversy. Speaking at today’s Nasdaq Investor Conference, Jorgunsen described the furore around the game’s microtransactions as “a learning experience.”
Battlefront II now gives bigger end-of-match bonuses.
That’s certainly an interesting way to speak about a series of decisions so ill-informed that EA have been constantly shifting their approach to the issue. Rewards have been raised, prices have been lowered, and microtransactions were temporarily turned off in the wake of significant dissatisfaction. The situation has escalated to the point where several governmental agencies are investigating claims that the game’s microtransactions constitute gambling.
