I am confused by one part of the article, is the backlash against Battlefront regional or world wide? Is there really concern in the EU and Asia? transactions like this see prevalent overseas and only the American audience gets bent out of shape.

I am a player of a number of Wargaming products and they have all sorts of ways to get money from players yet the EU forums are quiet compared to the NA forums with regard to bellyaching over pricing; though reddit is just mad all the time with players from all regions chiming in.

I am more worried about the political class getting involved and running under the the for the children umbrella. nothing good can come of that and might give them inroads on more aspect of gaming that one segment or another finds offensive
