Earlier this week we learned about the existence of Battlefield V, its setting during World War II, and that it will not implement a season pass scheme or loot boxes. Yet, immediately after EA clarified that it will be using multiple forms of currency, one of which is available for real life cash.
It's not going to get quite as out of hand as Battlefront 2 though, as EA confirms that it's for use on cosmetic-only items. Again, loot boxes are out, so it seems like these will be aailable directly for purchase without gambling on what you're getting.
This is basically the League of Legends model. If they're going to sell the occasional amazing looking skin (Star Wars crossovers?) that everyone wants for $10, it's going to be predatory, but it's something I can deal with if all of the game's DLC and add-ons are free. We'll see if they follow through come October.
