Simple yes or no poll.

With all the hate for this game I was curiouse

and please give your reason for yes or no.

I want it to fail so it sends a message to future devs

not to release unfinished products.

Too late. Cost EA $200-$300 million for development that goes F2P in less than a year...  I think the ship has already sailed on your question.

I would agree with this, except that I wouldn't want "Bioware" to touch Star Wars anymore, since the Bioware we knew no longer exists.

Now that Disney owns  Star Wars, I wouldn't expect much in the way of creativity and open worlds. It will be commercialized as much as it possibly can be from here on out -- even more than it has been till now, if you can imagine that.

I voted no. That said I moved off from this with less than a months invested. A real testament on how to arrogantly waste 100's of millions of dollars and not even know it.

Well the playerbase knew it and....................left, by and large

Mickey Mouse is in charge of SWTOR now. You've seen what a bastard he is in South Park, he's all about the money.

There will be no more good star wars mmos.

Blame Mickey Mouse.

You know what I wanna see?  A return to the days of yore when Star Wars games cared MORE about the space than they did about the worlds.

Build me a game from ground up focussing on space and combat.  Then work your way in.  You can design frigates or mon cal cruisers or the star destroyers as your primary hubs and work out.  Heck, having the hubs actually move from system to system... that could be awesome.  After you got solid space then you can build a ground game.

It's pretty sad that anybody would want someone's hard work to fail.  Despite what you think of B/W or EA, SWTOR and any game for that matter is some serious hard work by not just the companys but a lot of people and it's also there passion. 

To sit there and say I want to see it fail is well I don't even have a word for it.

Yes, and the sooner the better.

They shut down SWG so that they could maximize the numer of people playing TOR.   Yes, they said it was because their lease of the IP was up but we all know they were terrified of having two Star Wars MMOs going on at the same time.

The sooner TOR fails and decides to either shut down or dwindle away, the sooner another company can get a chance at the IP.

The game flopped hard.  I really don't care how hard they worked on it, that is their problem....they made a bad game.  Do the right thing and give another company a crack at making a Star Wars MMO.  SWG2 would be a good idea right about now.

Picked NO, I didn't want swtor to fail.

But!!!! I have to admit it did though!    It turned out to be a pile of crap...

I voted No.

Haters gonna hate.

Wow, it just occurred to me that Disney does own Star Wars and the only reason we lost SWG was that Lucas Arts didn't renew with Sony.  What a waste.  We could have had both games.  

Want it to fail? No.

No matter how much I dislike it, others find it good and enjoy it. Not that much of a hater. (although I do find it rather like watching a slow motion train wreck in progress) Overuse of  Voiced questing and nothing special gameplay did it in for me, yet EA is talking about investing another 100M for a fully voiced expansion... to each their own.

Besides the last thing we need is to scare off what few investors are left willing to support a MMO. Too many games these last couple years have vastly underperformed and left the market skittish to say the least.

Yes.

Becuse at this point in time and with their actions it would beneficial for whole genre if it shuts down.

Oh, and btw. it already failed, now its matter of shutting down or continue on minimum workforce.
