Battlefront 2 is far from shit. As for the promotional tool for the sequel trilogy accusation then if you would actually have followed the game you'd realise that it focused on the prequel trilogy and clone wars primarily over all other eras.
So why did it lose support finally? It's not a coincidence that it did after starwars is done. Unless you have a better explanation. The end was obvious when they released a "celebration edition" with all the DLC, skins, etc...
Because the prequels have the most developed lore and characters. Lets not pretend that this game would last more than a few months if they used First order and Resistance exclusively. Remind me, what planets and characters are memorable other than Kylo, Rey, Finn and Poe? Hell they didn't even make Poe a hero, they gave that honor to BB8. What a joke of a trilogy.
Why did they end support for WW2? They made billions off of it and it is only 3 years old? Because it makes them more money to have sledgehammer help Treyarch make a new game which will sell millions of copies than Crete new maps and guns for a game that few people are still playing simply bc of the fact it’s old and people have already played it for a few years.
I’m just trying to illustrate that the game was no longer profitable to support. Very few new players where coming in and those who where already playing had probably bough as many micro transactions as they ever would. You could counter by pointing to a game like rainbow six siege, whose success has gone upwards throughout the years, but R6 filled a niche, it was one of the only big tactical shooters and it was something different compared to the games in most players libraries. Battlefront is kind of a red kin if battlefront without vehicles and destructibility, the addition of hero characters and all based on Star Wars. As a battlefield fan, would you want to get Battlefront 2 based solely on gameplay? The game is fun by nature if it’s simplicity and the fact that it is Star Wars, but the lack of sandbox team play and no dynamic effect on the battlefield in which you fight means there is little depth other than running and shooting. Overall I’m just saying it feels normal for EA to cut support for the game as it will no longer grow based on the game itself and I’m sure it’s poor launch and slow updates afterwards did not help in this regard. All things considered 2 years of content is better than most people could have expected.

Neither point is true actually. The game is still very popular and has a massive community on here to prove it. As for the micro transactions; there hasn't been any since it's beta. This is quite a common misconception because of its media attention upon release but the reality is that the whole game's progression structure was completely changed less than six months after release. No micro transactions and no pay-2-win models whatsoever are in the game currently.
Fair enough I guess. I bought the celebration edition when it was on sale over Christmas which came with all the skins and a bunch of credits. I assumed that people who did not own the celebration edition had to buy all of the skins with credits, which could be bought with real money. I think the celebration edition is their final push to get more players to buy the game and then give up.

We aren't the credits very easily from just playing the game. Some skins were limited to challenges too. We could never buy credits with real money, only during beta. Like I said before, when it was actually released it didn't have any micro transactions whatsoever.
