When the cosmetic DLC costs twice as much as the game has been for a long time...

I have no idea what EA are thinking on this one.

I don't see what's is wrong with this. You don't need to buy the upgrade to get the cosmetic stuff.

So then what is the point of the upgrade? To get it without having to grind?

I still say that is some crap dlc for way too much.

I mean, does it even affect you? You still have access to all the free updates. There are not content limitations.

This is like justifying pay to play. I get it that the content is there and it won't cost me anything to grind for 100s of hours to get it, but just because there are no restrictions doesn't mean you are going to end up with the content or its even worth it doing the grindy way.

This was the same argument when the game came out and it took 100s of hours to unlock characters. They are counting on you getting fed up with wanting it.

Because games use to have all the cosmetic stuff in game, that you would unlock by playing the game. If these are the ones that are currently in game, then you can unlock them with an unholy grind: According to Soeren Kamper on Star Wars Gaming, "It will take 4,528 hours of gameplay (or $2,100) to unlock all base-game content in Star Wars Battlefront 2." That is stuff that they created for the game, (which you just paid $59.99 for the base version) but took out of the base game to put behind a paywall. After the tremendous backlash from fans, EA took them out so you couldn't buy...for a couple years and put them back in.

What is wrong with this is they sell you "time savers" by letting you just buy the skins, or crafting mats so you don't have to farm, or new weapons that you don't have to unlock. So they sell you something with money, so you don't have to play their grindy game that they created. Create a problem, then create a solution to said problem and...profit!

That guy needs to ask for a raise or bring it up to the labor department...$2,100/4,528 hours is $0.46 per hour! I thought wages were going up!?

$$$ for fancy digital clothes is something I will never understand. I know a child whose family doesn't have a lot of money- he has spent more than $1500 on fortnite outfits... that makes no sense...
