A game that already did a poor job of capturing the essence of Star Wars will become even less attached to the IP when inundated with players who are not fans of the setting.
Good luck with that. When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done. |

Let's face it: Anything the Bioware drones say is worthless. Yes, they have to say something, and they might even be honest this time. But EA can hand-wave it away anytime, for any reason. It's really damaging the industry as a whole, as it makes any comments by any developer that much more fluff. The players are getting more and more cynical, with good reasons, and it's poisoning the game/customer relationship. When the best option for a game studio is to say NOTHING, EVER, and it will *improve* their image, that's the sign that the process has gone terribly wrong. And can anyone really say that it's not for the best that a developer like ArenaNet go silent? I'd grudgingly agree it's a good move if they did. Under (never!) promise, over deliver is what players are crying for, that some developer will grab that banner. Avatars are people too |

The saddest thing about this is that the take away the "industry" is going to get from this is going to be... "We really need to release games under the Free 2 Play business model." RATHER then... "We really shouldn't be spending 200 million dollars on designing mediocre games."

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

I read this as, "SWTOR in Free to Play Freefall" Playing: Rift and DayZ

Originally posted by GrumpyMel2 New MMOs need to adopt a B2P model. Most release with barely enough content to last a free month, let alone justify a subscription fee. Then you get patches once every 3-4 months with 1 raid or instance and maybe a few quests. Hardly justifying a subscription fee. Especially in that 3-4 month period, you paid enough subsription fees to purchase a brand new game.

Didn't even last a year. Can you imagine they just pumped that money into bringing SWG up to date with graphics and new story lines? You can bank it wouldn't have gone free to play this fast. Sad really. |

A game is a game and must remain a game. Don''t play if it''s not for the fun of it. |

Way to go EA you are polluting the gaming world with another broken game!!!!!!!! Bioware is only a puppet in this realm and has no decision regarding the business decisions that is really sad! To EA management: You broke Warhammer at start, you did so for SWTOR and even your latest game is a mess, The secret world!! You can create the best hype on the market even Blizzard can't beat you on that but hell your games are going nowhere! I do play Secret Word ad SWTOR but I totally don't follow your decisions with your games. |

I am afraid the future is: Pre-purchase beta, subscription at launch and an architecture that allows switching to hybrid on the fly whenever needed without a major effort.. Thats max profit, imho. Well, max profit would be a good game. But they never will listen. played: Everquest I (6 years), EVE (3 years) |

Why is there so much hate on this game, its actually pretty fun for the time being. The only thing i see they did really wrong is confineing you to the fleet at the end, and illum (and world pvp ends up being a zerg fest dominated by the bigger mass anyway) but overall i would say its really not that bad. I get it, it has its problems but there is seriously so much hate its rediculous we get it you guys think bioware failed move on go play something you do like. |

A collective SWG fan nerdgasm explodes all over MMORPG with raised arms "I told you so" rings out across the interweb. This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up™ the new high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session. |
