that sounds about right. However EA owns the BioWare studio as well as others such as dice, popcap, respawn, ghost, among others, and have the power to basically shoehorn anything they want in the game. just take a look at Battlefield V, Battlefront II, Mass effect Andromeda, and every popcap game on the current market.... all of which have microtransactions, some very aggressive and some that are illegal. BioWare, even though its a separate entity, they still have to answer to EA . if not, EA will liquidate the studio as they have done to sooooo many others in the past.
