EA announces return of Star Wars Battlefront II loot crates in wake of disappointing sales

EA never learns because, despite missing sales targets, the publisher confirmed that microtransactions would return to Star Wars Battlefront II in the coming months.

Star Wars Battlefront II generated a lot of controversy for its loot crates and microtransactions. The outcry among gamers caused the publisher to pull the micropayments, but by that time the damage was done. According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, the game underperformed as EA only sold nine million units instead of the ten million they estimated. If you compare these figures to the first Star Wars Battlefront, the game passed fourteen million sales by March 2016.
