And yet, though I am in agreement with many about the profound wrongness of spamming DLC contents and even some of the criticisms levelled at the game itself, I believe that we have allowed our judgement to be clouded by a very human love of banding together to find one universal object for our hate. I have read countless damning reviews of the game. Much of it has taken the form of criticism levelled at EA and their questionable business practice.

There has been a huge wave of negativity surrounding S tar Wars Battlefront. The world of gaming is not exempt from this. Many feel unable to watch the news it is too depressing. Positives are often lost amidst a negative sea. Are artists who push themselves into madness and despair greater than those who do not? Do those without morals triumph over those with them? Humanity has always had a fascination with the dark side, our negative selves, the bad in life. Luke Skywalker’s famous question is so much more than a mere enquiry as to the metric strength of one mystical power against another it is a universal philosophical question that has haunted humanity since we could first articulate ourselves.
