ITS OFFICIAL...
Earlier...
*** Speculation prior to announcement ***
It seems the ingame currency for Star Wars Battlefront 2 - Crystals - which can be bought with real world money has been removed from all purchasing outlets such as Origin, Amazon and PSN etc.
The games progression system looks to be changing.
Official announcement to come from EA very soon.
* Update: Many people now reporting that Crystal purchasing has now dissappeared or been removed leaving behind an error when trying to purchase from PSN and XBL. Very interesting last minute change upon a games launch.
Look forward to hearing official information from EA but if true, I am pleasantly surprised how the reaction of the community was heard and respect to EA for actually responding, to what extent remains to be seen.

Updating as news comes in.
SWBF reddit is updating like crazy right now with links to the EA affiliated Game Changers who have updated their twitter accounts with cryptic messages about an imminent EA announcement. Speculation and some people uploading screens shows the in game currency (crystals) have been been removed.
I sincerely apologise for making this thread if this turns out to all be fake on the eve of the game release but its big news if true.
Hold onto your butts!
