🚀 From Hate to Hero: How Battlefront II Was Saved by Its Own Community

The Rise, Fall, and Unexpected Comeback of a Galaxy at War 🌌

Back in 2017, Star Wars: Battlefront II launched into a firestorm of controversy:

• Locked heroes like Darth Vader behind grind walls
• Predatory loot boxes
• EA’s now-infamous “Pride and Accomplishment” comment the most downvoted Reddit reply of all time 💀

🎮 The community? Furious.
Players boycotted, refunded, and even called out EA in government hearings on loot boxes.
The game was declared dead-on-arrival.

But then… something incredible happened.

👥 The Battlefront community didn’t give up.

• Creators, modders, and “die-hard fans” kept the flame alive.
• Petitions, videos, and constant feedback forced EA DICE to listen.
• Over time, the devs delivered:
  ✅ Pay to win removed
  ✅ Huge free content updates
  ✅ Fan-requested heroes & planets
  ✅ Galactic Assault, Capital Supremacy & more

🔥 In early 2020 three years after launch, Battlefront II hit a player peak of over 200,000 after being free on Epic Games.
Suddenly, the “dead” game was trending again… and loved.

💬 The Community Was the Real Force Behind the Comeback

This wasn’t just a dev redemption arc, it was a story of fans who refused to let the game die.
A true Rebellion.
