If you are one of the people who picked up Star Wars Battlefront 2 for free at the Epic Games Store last week, then you are not alone as EA announced through Twitter that 19 million players headed to the online store and grabbed a copy of the online multiplayer game.

Call of Duty: WWII and Star Wars: Battlefront II are your free PS4 games on PS Plus this June 2020. Both will be available for download starting June 1.

More Solo: A Star Wars Story inspired content is scheduled to come out in June and DICE said that it is "going to be quite... Legendary." 

The mod puts " pride and accomplishment" on the side of every lootbox in Star Wars Battlefront 2, giving a nod to the reply given by EA regarding Vader being locked in the game, making it the most downvoted comment in Reddit. 

"My addiction is a personal failing of mine," writes reddit user Kensgold. "[It's] the reason I can't in good conscience buy games that offer a loot crate, at all."

"You probably don't want Darth Vader in pink." That's what Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen had to say about how canon played a role in why cosmetic microtransactions aren't  part of the overall monetization plans for Star Wars Battlefront II.

As one of the few game publishers are listed on the NASDAQ, EA is one of those companies that actually has to worry about the concerns of its stockholders. By contrast, companies like Valve and Gearbox Software are privately owned and have no such worries.

It's a positive turn of events, but concerns remain, especially when EA and DICE are confidently declaring that microtransactions will return "at a later date."
