I'm guessing it's related to cs2/tf2 ? If so why go for a company with 2 games and not EA that has eighty?

I thought EA moved away from lootboxes once Europe started passing laws in 2017 and 2018. Isn't that why battle passes are all the rage now?

Their sports games are full of it.

Battle passes are a preferred monetization method because it forces people to play the game.
