The corresponding message the company posted on social networks and on the official website. A few hours before the full release EA off the goods for real money in Star Wars Battlefront II. Therefore, users can no longer buy the crystals and, consequently, those same containers, which started all the hype.

Now all the progress in Star Wars Battlefront II is based solely on the gameplay. You will get to open the containers, but will not be able to spend a tidy sum to buy more luchboxes to bypass gameplay.

EA says that has made these changes after discussions with the community. However, the company does not hide: the real money will come back. But only when EA and DICE to build and implement an updated in-game economy, which will be happy all (or almost all) players of Star Wars Battlefront II.
