If EA get their hands on these it's good night damn good games and hello micro transaction hell, Same with Activision.

I'm not sure a cable company would have been much better with the corporate greed aspect tbf, they mastered the pricing model of microtransactions long ago, just with comparatively major prices.

Very true, I just hope it doesn't go to EA, That would be the death of the franchise in the gaming sense, They've already completely messed up their chance with the Star Wars license, They've now had it 7 years and only brought out/published 1 game, Fallen Order, Can't really count BF1+2 as they are just Battlefield with a Star Wars skin, Quite boring too, And cancelled many others.

Warner Bros. still owns Batman, so EA would have to purchase the Batman license first.

It's not like anyone worse could buy Rocksteady. We've seen what Warner Bros. is capable of when Shadow of War was designed around microtransactions. Monolith didn't do that because they wanted to. They did it because Warner Bros. suits told them to design it that way. It's highly unlikely that they wouldn't do the same with Rocksteady and their new Batman game, considering how much more popular Batman is. In fact, since the new Batman game is already in development, I'm willing to bet that the gameplay will be designed to entice you to purchase microtransactions.

Can guarantee it won't have focus on MT. They took a hammering with the disaster port of AK, and with the world up in arms on loot boxes and MT's they are on thin ice to create a good title.

Battlefront II MT post on reddit is still the most downvoted post to ever. And it has sent ripples around the world to all developers. Even EA took heed on later titles!
