Insider: EA has abandoned development of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 due to an unwillingness to pay interest to copyright owners

Insider Tom Henderson told how EA refused to develop Star Wars: Battlefront 3 because of its unwillingness to pay interest to the franchise's copyright owners.

These are Disney and Lucasflim, who, if the game was released, EA would have had to give 20-25% of all revenue from the game. Apparently, the publisher did not like it, and therefore the team of DICE studio was completely transferred to support and develop the games of the Battlefield series.

Colleague is supported by journalist Jeff Grubb, who said that Star Wars: Battlefront 3 was not even worked out in terms of concept. Apparently, the need to share the money knowingly put an end to the network shooter, which could have been quite successful.
