Activated fine for me, friend from USA bought it for me.

There's apparently several elements to dislike about the game beyond just the paid lootboxes, and a fair bit of that still lingers even after lootboxes were removed.
Edit: I've edited the post for better clarity.
so it's essentially not even related to the current game
They were dropped in April, yes. I was just trying to state that the element of paying for lootboxes wasn't the only criticism that drove the game down, but mechanical issues, weak campaign, and the core design of the game's lootboxes all contributed as well. The review doesn't go into it, but EA's repeated insistence on making rather greedy, fairly shameless, somewhat absurd comments on the matter also didn't help public opinion at all.
In short, the controversy is what set people against the game, but games have survived controversies before. The real issue was that everything else was stressing the customers as well, rather than being good enough to counter the influence of the controversy to some degree.

Jsyk, that review was made before they removed the lootbox mechanic so it's essentially not even related to the current game at this point.

you need an amazon.com account (not.de) and a US address.

Interesting, didn't even know that. I made a US account years ago and have been using that whenever there is a good sale there.

Shorter than the last SW film and unfinished, ending with a "it kinda-sorta continues in multiplayer, now please start grinding" message.
On the plus side, it does not feature characters who are deadly in love with chest-high walls and cannot get unstuck from them.

The last movie was 7 hours long? Wow, didn't feel that way. ^^

Umm, that's not accurate at all. The campaign is longer than ANY Star Wars movie and the it takes place in-between the movie canon, particularly in-between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens -- there is no "it kinda-sorta continues in multiplayer, now please start grinding" you just sound like a sour apple.

EA doesn't do HB anymore. Those were only to promote the launch of Origin.

I'll be honest, that's not a bad deal at all. The game was a travesty when it came out, but it's also a graphical powerhouse that's supposedly still very fun to play. It's just the grindy nature of it.
I won't buy it, but I'd be tempted if Origin hadn't basically fucked me out of my account completely.

I am only interested in the campaign anyway. Honestly, I would have bought it on release, but the thing with the lootboxes and progression tied to them actually made me skip it (until now). It wouldn't even have had any impact on my singleplayer experience. But they went so over the top that I just didn't want to support that game. And I am usually the guy who thinks most of these things are not a big deal. Denuvo never stopped me from buying a game. Small ads in Street Fighter would not stop me from buying it. Microtransactions and Lootboxes were never a big concern for me personally (even though I condemn them in public), as long as I could ignore them. But Battlefront 2 was really something else.

If you end up playing online, I still play it all the time. xD

By fact prices in USD on Amazon and on Origin absolutely identical.

Seems to be a RoW key. Activated just fine in Germany.

(obviously non-steam, it's an Origin key)
