In what's sure to be one of the most interesting Reddit AMAs in history, EA and Dice will be hosting a Star Wars Battlefront II event today beginning at 9:30 am Pacific / 12:30 pm Eastern. It's a fascinating turn of events in that EA recently earned the dubious honor of producing the most down-voted post in Reddit history in a kerfuffle of top hero costs (time & credits).
Developers on hand include Executive Producer John Wasilczyk, Associate Design Director Dennis Brannvall and Producer Paul Keslin.
SWBF2 Reddit mods have posted a warning of sorts to remind participants to keep things civil:
We know a lot of you are upset with EA right now. In fact, it seems like all of reddit is upset with EA right now. As such, we feel the need to lay down some ground rules for the AMA.
1) Keep it civil. You don't have to be nice, but we will not allow the AMA to devolve into straight up harassment. EA employees are users of the subreddit, too. We will be heavily enforcing Rule #2 during the AMA: No harassment or inflammatory language will be tolerated. Be respectful to users.
EA has also informed us that if the AMA becomes hostile, their team will pull back and stop the AMA.
They want an open dialogue with this community to address the community's concerns, not a cage match. So, violations of this rule during the AMA will result in a 3 day ban.
Be sure to swing by the Star Wars Battlefront II Reddit at the appointed hour to see what devs have to say.
