I don't think I saw a single article about EA that painted them in a favorable light over this one. "You paid like $60 for this game and would have to spend like $90 on average to unlock Darth Vader, or grind for [some large number of hours]" is not a good look. This isn't the first thing EA's fucked up by being greedy for microtransactions, and it won't be the last time they roll it back after their customers reacting loudly enough that someone who doesn't give a damn about whatever franchise they're running into the ground by doing this hears about it - I mean, I don't give a shit about SW, much less SW:BF2, and I'm aware of this, and my entire mental picture of the story is "EA is a bunch of greedheads as usual".
