At the end of the day they wanted to have their cake and eat it, and thankfully people wised up to microtransactions and loot boxes and Battlefront 2 will forever be known for changing peoples opinion on the matter.
Still no gonna change how disappointingly basic the open world activities are, but kudos for them for stripping the loot boxes out, shame it's 6 months too late.
Tbh Dragon Quest Builders was a switch port of a year old game, so it wasn't much competition. That being said World is awesome and deserve the success it's getting.
