Released to international controversy back in 2017, DICE’s second attempt at a Battlefront game was fighting to find its footing for most of its lifespan. After a widespread lootbox controversy that attracted the attention of several governmental bodies, the game developed a reputation in gaming circles as a pay-to-win mess, with franchise icons like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker being locked behind paywalls or massive grinds. And for many players, that was enough to write Star Wars Battlefront 2 off and never pay it any mind again.
