Aspyr makes Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection statement after crashing to 'Overwhelmingly Negative' reviews, says it's working on it, doesn't apologise or explain why it needs 62.87GB of your disc space

With the Steam user reviews now comfortably at "Overwhelmingly Negative," it's fair to say that the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has been a disaster. Pilloried by players as "Probably one of the worst launches of all time" within hours of release, the collection has been a black eye for Aspyr after last month's well-regarded Tomb Raider remasters (weirdness regarding the momentarily better Epic Games Store version aside).

In the wake of all that, the company has released a (stunningly brief) statement on where it plans to go from here. Thanking the Battlefront community for its "overwhelming support and feedback" for the Classic Collection—which is certainly one way of phrasing it—Aspyr cops to the fact that it "experienced critical errors with our network infrastructure" that caused "high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser."
