13 Biggest WTF Video Game Moments Since 2010
13. Star Wars Battlefront Takes All Your Money
Most forms of worthwhile entertainment require you drop a reasonable amount of cash at the door as an entry fee, but Star Wars Battlefront took more than a few liberties in attempting to milk the Star Wars name for all it's worth.
It'd be willfully ignorant of me to ignore the questionable business strategies of other publishers (here's one shining example), but Star Wars Battlefront certainly takes the cake. This is, after all, a shooter that for all intents and purposes, never felt like a finished product even from day dot.
From the total absence of any single-player campaign to a painful lack of variety, EA and DICE settled on doing the bare minimum to justify Battlefront's price tag, content to sell a bolt-on Season Pass for almost the same price as the game itself.
Not the best way to win consumers over to your side, is it, EA?
The stigma generated from that still lingers around Battlefront like a bad smell, but it at least looks as if those wrongs will be righted with Battlefront II. Confirmation of a single-player component is already a massive step forward.
