Well this is a thing that happened.

It's real surprising that they cut off such a huge planned revenue source so last-minute. Obviously it's more likely than not that it'll be reimplemented, but still surprising.
May have something to do with this: https://venturebeat.com/2017/11/16/star-wars-battlefront-ii-microtransactions-go-offline-until-ea-can-make-changes/

Bob Iger had a phone conversation with EA's CEO today. Which may have consisted of Iger saying "I'm getting calls over this poo poo and if you damage our brand you'll never make another SW game again."

For anyone that does game writing, is there a program or method you use for complicated dialogue chains? I'm doing a thing in Dreams with a conversation that's several levels deep and I'm literally using pen and paper, lol. NBD because it's Dreams but something a bit less clunky would be nice.
