The storyline predominantly follows Iden Versio, commander. The game is a sequel to the 2015s Star Wars Battlefront and includes content from all three trilogies, and has three times as much content as the original had at launch. IMHO these “consumable” in-app purchases are as bad as gambling, except there’s no way to claim that money back.Īnd don’t get me started on all these online gambling sites and their hugely prevalent TV advertising…. Star Wars Battlefront II is a video game created by Electronic Arts and developed by DICE, Motive Studios and Criterion Games.

If Google, Microsoft and Apple all sat down and agreed that in-app purchases could not be used for purchasing “consumables” in games, the world would be a much better place.

But with great power comes great responsibility. And then of course have to pay another £2.99 for 3 lives which i’ll probably waste in 5 minutes. I’d rather pay £5.99 for a fully fledged game that’s 5 to 15 years old than pay 99p for some crappy maze puzzle that’s been ripped from an early noughties flash game that no-one has ever heard of.

Companies like Rockstar Games can rerelease their back catalogue for a new generation, and because it’s a console port, there’s hardly ever any in-app purchases. Smartphones and tablets have been a massive boon for console developers and gamers alike.
