EA’s pricing of DLC and add-ons for its upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront 2 release is upsetting many gamers. Many on the net say the company effectively pricing $80 just to play as Darth Vader, and giving game reviewers a faster in-game content unlock progression, compared to paying gamers, misrepresenting the product. Pre-orders of the game can be cancelled and so gamers took to Reddit, and other sites, to distribute links to the pages on EA’s website that let you easily cancel your pre-order. With pre-order cancellations gaining traction, EA has has pulled out some tricks to stop it from becoming a flood.
The publisher has reportedly changed the way you cancel pre-orders. Instead of simply clicking on a web-based form to cancel your pre-order and get the reference number to your refund, you now have to speak to a phone repvia chat to cancel your order. This takes way more time. Which many believe is the point. EA hoping it becomes too much trouble to cancel the game. You know the drill- phone lines get bogged down by too many people trying to cancel their orders with too few reps taking the calls. So only those who can wait the long times to speak to a phone rep will be able to cancel their pre-order.
The game ships on November 17.
