I know that during Battlefront II’s canal in Orlando the crowd booed when EA announced that micro-transactions would be present within the game.
That’s because including micro-transactions in a game that the consumer has already paid for is exploitative and generally objectionable. I think booing proved to be the correct response in that situation.
I totally agree with you. I’m just bringing the story up just to illustrate that the crowd could react that at one of the panels this year. Part of me wouldn’t be surprised if the audience acted like this at Episode IX’s panel.
