Haven't bought it, but read a review of STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II in sci-fi magazine STARBURST. And reviews elsewhere, too.
Seems various reviewers, and governments, have had problems with microtransactions and loot boxes.
The website eurogamer.net reported on it:
QUOTE:
In that time the fallout caused by Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot boxes has widened. The Belgian Gaming Commission waded in, as did Hawaii State Representative Chris Lee, who publicly denounced EA's game as "a Star Wars-themed online casino designed to lure kids into spending money." |

The STARBURST review had this to say:
QUOTE:
Battlefront II isn't a video game. This is something crafted to prey upon those with gambling addictions, disguised in a veneer of science fiction nostalgia. |
