Star Wars Battlefront II is scheduled to launch later this week, but EA DICE is having trouble dealing with the outrage surrounding its money-making scheme within the game. There's been a lot of contention surrounding the publisher's pay-to-win mechanic in the highly anticipated Star Wars first-person shooter game, and EA's decision to slash down the unlockable characters credit costs have been met with even more anger and disappointment.
Seeing how the outrage over EA's tactics, Blizzard decided to throw out some sharp jabs at the publisher. The StarCraft Twitter account has been busy firing shots at EA's methods of monetization, posting some cutting tweets in reference to the entire circus surrounding Star Wars Battlefront II.
While the StarCraft account tries to feign innocence by simply pointing out "the number of hours it takes to earn the full StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Campaign" and the "number of hours before you can play ANY Co-op Commander in Star Craft II," anyone following the whole Star Wars Battlefront II controversy can understand what Blizzard's talking about.
The developer then hits the nail with its little tidbit "Number of pay-to-win mechanics in Star Craft II: 0 and Free to Play – Now Live!"
Blizzard, being owned by Activision, has always had some rivalry with EA, and at this point, it seems like the EA's having a hard time turning things around with the Star Wars gaming community.
Star Wars: Battlefront II releases on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC this Friday, November 17.
