It is worth noting that EA and
DICE did take the Microtransaction service mechanic out of the game and replaced it with a new system,
but the sour taste of the whole conundrum still lingers around even after the fact.
Battlefield V contains a list of other bugs that affect a portion of the player base for the worse, but according to North American Community Manager
for Battlefield, Jeff Braddock, fixes are said to be“coming” ahead of the Microtransaction implementation.
This is a problem because if the Company Coins do not work right while Microtransactions are live, the only way to progress efficiently would be to pay real-world money for in-game items-
causing a similar situation to the 2017 Microtransaction problem all over again.
After Electronic Arts and
DICE have changed Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s progression and Microtransaction system, it seems that there is a split among gamers
in that some feel consumers beat EA, while others feel that very little or next to nothing really came out of the situation.
After going through exhaustive research into the loot box and Microtransaction business, the House of Commons' Digital,
Culture, Media and Sport Committee published a lengthy 84-page report on September 9th, 2019 detailing their thoughts and suggestions on how to deal with the budding loot box issue plaguing the gaming industry.
