Yea, the game does look intriguing - and always good to have more Star Wars games given the dearth of them in recent years.
 

I’m not 100% on this, but… Zynga apparently has a reputation for requiring a number of ‘in-game purchases’ for some of their other games - with many claiming it is almost impossible to progress or compete in them without making ongoing purchases.

a Play-to-win - pay-to-win situation 😦
 

Given there was also a big kickback vs EA a few years ago with ‘loot boxes’ in Battlefront II (and also vs Lucasfilm too for allowing it to happen) - I imagine many fans aren’t happy seeing Zynga linked with this game.
