In response to players who were angered by the way in which the progression system was set up, EA issued a statement on Reddit which stated, ““The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes. We selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we’re looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we’ll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via game play." This currently remains the most down-voted comment on Reddit. A day after the post on Reddit was made, a Twitter user, who claimed to be a developer at Electronic Arts, had reportedly received over 1600 death threats due to Battlefront 2 and this story was picked up by CNBC. However, the story was then labeled as fake news after Jason Schreir, a lead writer at Kotaku, reached out to the user BiggSean66, the user who made the claims. After Jason sent multiple messages and received no response from the user, BiggSean66 ended up locking his account and removing any reference to him being a developer from his Twitter Bio.
