Too bad there is no financial or business content in the article.

Is this another case of one company (bioware) developing and creating the game, then having EA step in ship boxes and offer the download on orgin....only to have posters consider EA the brains behing the game? Ive seen this with a few games, TSW most recently. Just because EA prints and ships boxes and offers the game on their orgin doesnt mean that made the game or made any mistake.
SWTOR isnt really a terrible game, yeah endgame fell short and wasnt finished or playable in ilums case...however...i think the largest mistake was playing the overhype game...something that you never really recover from. MMORPG gamers have become stupid...they believe everything their told in the most postive ways possible...then become hurt and offended when the game turns out to be a mmorpg not a god...and then the hate campaigns start and will never end. Most these deluded gamers are now starting the whole overhype process again in GW2...blind to whats being done to them..which is why i consider them dumb...like puppets in the hands of marketeers. |

I recommend you to browse Forbes more to get a picture how financial and business article looks like, try oil industry or something like that... |

Originally posted by Gdemami Since now you're line of attack is based on semantics, i'll take that to mean that you concede the point and acknowledge the fact that the article does indeed relate to a business and to its declining finanancial situation. No worries man, we all make mistakes, what makes the difference is acknowledging them, learning from them, and moving on :-) Cheers! |

Not at all. Without knowing how such article look like, you may easily get mistaken and falsely recognize the content of the article. |

Originally posted by Gdemami in that case, let us consider the content of the article in question. Did the article cover a business? (yes, EA Games). Did the article cover the economic situation/status of a business (yes, EA Games economic troubles do to 5 reasons). I still don't see how this article is any less legitimate. |

As long as you are comfortable with your blind folders, any babble that suits your case will seem legitimate... |

Originally posted by Gdemami Interesting... you went from a false claim (the article not being relevant to Forbes) to semantics (not like the other true economic articles) and now to insults (blind folders, babble, etc)... how quaint. I'll take this to mean you have run out of excuses and concede the point :) |

Originally posted by Wicoa I find it amusing how william12 knows so much about corporations, advertisements, game development cost, etc, etc. He speaks with such authority, you'd think he's part of a multinational company board. Tell us william12, what is it that you do? What experience has given you such intimate knowledge regarding the market?? |

I don't see how flogging 5 million copies of bf3 is a flop, so what if cod sold 6.5, they still sold lots of copies, they must have made a big chunk of cash on that.
I still can't work out how swtor cost so much money though, when you consider rift did the copying wow thing and tsw did the story thing, for much less money and are better games. What did they spend all that cash on? |

Originally posted by BigRock411 Uhh... EA is bioware. Bioware is just a name now, like mythic and maxis. I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less. |

Originally posted by Bardus On one hand I can agree with this blogger because let's face it he's only stating what is obvious to us involved in gaming, as much as I still love BW he didn't say much that we don't know to be true but honestly I'm a gamer and could care less if EA gets their ass handed to them by Activison or the shareholders. If I have a problem with anything in the article it's his speculation on sub numbers because he moved from millions to less than 500k which shows he doesn't know anything more than we do about SWTOR. Beyond that I'm still stuck wondering what the hell the point is for all of you who have decided that you don't like SWTOR, in your eyes the game has failed is this some misguided attempt to convince it's remaining fans we need to jump on your bandwagon and let the game fail (even though we still like it?!?). I'm a fan not an investor if the game continues to entertain me I will play it and don't care if EA's stock falls to less than a dollar much like the THQ made games I continue to support. Honestly gamers need to start to look within themselves for what entertains them and stop constantly seeking validation from the same people you spend most of your time complaining about you know the investors who are more often than not the reason every mmorpg is modeled after WOW. |

Originally posted by Drakxii When it's late at night, the moon is high in sky lighting up the darkness of the night, I sometimes lay in my bed under the covers hoping and praying that someday Maxis will find a way to flee from the Dark Tower of the evil wizard EA. I dream of a day when I can play Maxis' simcity games without the influence of the dark and evil wizard lording over us all... some day, some day. |

Originally posted by Gdemami name one instance where I hated on you! I thought for a while there we were actually having a pretty good discussion, until you started with the insults. If there's anything that I've proven, by your example, is that you have abandoned dialogue, refused to acknowledge where you were incorrect, and then proceeded with the insults... just doing my job :-) cheers! |
