I'd already heard about this days ago, but...
How did so many NOT see this coming? It's a (modern) DICE game, published by EA, and owned by Disney/LucasArts. Of-fucking-course it wouldn't include basic features like server browsers. This way, they have complete control over how you play the game, when you play the game, and where you play the game. And, more over, they can control any custom content, meaning most users will have to turn to their almost-assuredly-overpriced DLC, which will likely see first release shortly after (or the same day as) launch day.
Now then, how about a few more predictions, eh?
* The game will release with far less content then they'd initially announced, with said content to be added in "soon".
* The game will release in a buggy, broken, unstable mess on PC. (and possibly on console)
* Day-1/Week-1/Month-1 servers will crash constantly.
* There WILL be micro-transactions of some sort in the game.
* There WON'T be any sort of anti-cheat system (or at least one that works) in the game.
* People will ***** and moan about all of the above (if they happen), yet will still buy the game because "I need muh Star Wars!"
I'd love to be wrong about any of those, but considering the parties involved....
