tl;dr EA are unethical jerks, and people that preorder from them (especially given EA's history) are stupid.

Guess I’m stupid! I played the 10 hour demo, and then pre-ordered, based on my own experience being that the game is really fun. The reddit complaints are blown way out of proportion.

I'm interested in getting to know your experience after a couple tens of hours, when you get obliterated by some whales that got all the good loot for obscene amounts of money. Genuinely interested.

I read someone here saying that most people will only play this game's multiplayer for 2O hours and then move on, and I suspect they are correct. And it will be exacerbated by the pay-to-win model

I don't think that's really fair- the early-unlock "Hero" characters are just as viable as the late-unlock "Hero" characters, they're just less famous. You get Yoda and The Emperor instead of Luke and Vader. They all kick equal amounts of ass.

I'm curious, why pre-order something that isn't scarce? Just for the hats or whatever they're giving out as a bonus, or is it maybe a bit cheaper or something?

You get a three day headstart on building up your credits / stats / whatevers.

Which is genius, really, since then the non-pre-order people are at an immediate disadvantage and thus perfectly primed for play2win microtransactions.

edit; nevermind, should have known better.

Where did i say i didn't read the article? Tl;DR's are for people to not have to read the article, made by people that have read the article.

I suppose I expect more from someone who has been here for almost 9 years.
