EA’s defense of Star Wars: Battlefront II is now Reddit’s most downvoted comment

Electronic Arts is getting ready to launch one of its biggest games of the year, the multiplayer shooter Star Wars: Battlefront II, which is coming out on November 17, 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. But the buzz before its release has focused on criticism over its loot boxes and progression systems.

If you go to the Reddit page at r/StarWarsBattlefront, you’ll find a lot of players complaining about the shooter. Subscribers to EA Access are playing the game right now, and they’re finding out that unlocking some heroes can take a long time if you don’t want to spend any real money. An official EA Reddit account, EACommunityTeam, responded to a post called “Seriously? I paid 80$ to have Vader locked?” The comment has now become the most downvoted in Reddit’s history at -87,000 and climbing.
