Star Wars: Battlefront II (The villagers are outside with pitchforks and torches)

I was thinking about the whole "pink Darth Vader" statement made by EA.
First thing that comes to mind is don't do pink. Like jesus, that's like taking it to the extreme. But I think the real reason, or what they kind of wanted to say was that customization alone was not cutting it for them.

Obviously it was proved that customization was a part of it all along, but the way they saw it as a business is that it wouldn't give them nearly as much money. If you give the players the option to either buy or not buy skin packs, a lot of people will decide they don't want to buy them, or they'll buy one or 2 worth a couple of bucks and call it day for the rest of the game life spawn.
EA knew this, so they went for a more intrusive system in which players, out of frustration, would buy crates because the credits they get by just playing the game normally wouldn't be enough to keep up the pace. Clever from a business standpoint, but very anti consumer.

I wonder what their statement is gonna be later on, now that everyone knows they were hiding customization since the very beginning. The guy who said "customization violates canon" was just talking out of his ass, and he did it publicly.
