It would probably be even worse than Angry Birds requiring stars to unlock every single level. Angry Birds requiring stars is locked via gameplay (at least the old games on older updates). Games since the NES era has done that. Even monochrome games on ATARI were like that. The notion is that you can unlock by playing more which is how it should be.

Battlefront 2, on the other hand, made it so that you need to open boxes to get character shards, fill up a bar, then unlock that character meaning progression is hindered via money. The more money you pour, the faster you can unlock those characters. That is not how it should be in a console game. And tru to those words, EA got their ass handed to them by the public.
