13 Things That Could Completely Ruin Upcoming Video Games

5. Not Enough Maps & Overpriced DLC - Star Wars: Battlefront

As fun as Star Wars: Battlefront was, it was rightly raked over the coals by players for releasing with a meager amount of content, and then attempting to gouge fans for new maps and characters with disgustingly overpriced Season Pass content.

Fans will surely go into this year's follow-up with much more skepticism, but is it possible that EA can actually learn from their wanton avarice the first time around?

How Likely Is It?: From a business perspective, EA probably feels they don't really need to learn any lessons from the first game, because it sold enormously well and the DLC has no doubt made them fat stacks of cash.

Yes, Battlefront 2 will probably release with marginally more content than the first game so EA can say publicly that they've listened to player concerns, but don't expect the amount of content a AAA title should release with.

If it annoys you that much, don't buy the game on release and wait for a deep sale. 8/10
