They thought gamers would be that stupid and willing to deal with it. And to be fair, historically-speaking, EA is right.

The problem, of course, is that EA decided to make progression in general locked behind Loot-Boxes, which are already controversial since many consider them as basically Gambling, and in this case there were official investigations run into the game (and the Loot-Box system) in Belgium to see if it is indeed Gambling.

Overwatch, for comparison, mostly just locks aesthetic stuff. Not weapons or iconic heroes everyone would love to play like Vader or Luke Skywalker.
