    Lets see, people who flame soe either have spoken with their wallets, by cancelling the game and denying the evil empire more money (an action which I support). Some demand pre-CU/NGE star wars, which isn't going to happen. Therefore, nothing is changing because of further flaming. Therefore, no one is listening to the angry flamers.

     

    Do you seriously think some suit at soe is going to say "ZOMG! AngryForumGuy#215 says our game is teh suxorz! Quick! Change everything!". If you're as smart as you think you are, you know corporations only respond to economic stimuli, for the most part. Once you stop paying for a product, and no longer affect their bottom line directly, you lose their attention.

    Anything short of a major negative press campaign, and I mean something like major stories and coverage on CNN and the major news channels about a company wont really reach their attention nearly as much as people refusing to pay for their product. I highly doubt CNN will do a story on salvaje's hate mongering. There have already been stories in the New York Times and USA today about the NGE, but its old news now. Even that didn't bring pre-CU back or pull the plug on the game.

    So, in short, no one is listening. Feel free to show me where I"m wrong.

    No, seriously - how old are you?

     

    
    You sir, are a master at debate. Truly a master debater. A cunning linguist.

    Haha I see, and you're so much better obviously. You rise above the hate and refrain from abusing other posters. Oh wait...

     

     If we're to use the same logic you just used, and blatanty apply it to all swg haters, the way you blanket label "nge enjoyers", I guess it goes a long way to showing what kind of people hate swg. 

    Now, I'm not that stupid to make blanket assumptions. I know most people who hate swg are decent folks and I don't hate or blame them for not liking swg. I respect their decision to not play the game. Its the vocal, angry, spiteful minority (yes, they're a majority on this forum but in the real world people say "swg? what's that?") who spend so much time spewing anger on this forum that I'm confused by.

     

    He he. No, that's precisely what you have done:

    "You can be part of the solution or part of the cry babies who just can't let the CU and NGE go. Whether they admit it or not though, no one listens to the cry babies anymore (except themselves)". Talk about blanket assumptions, eh?

    Seriously - how old are you?

    Um... yeah... its called breaking those agreements smart guy. Thats what they were infact doing, in a way that is not too overt or explicit. Not like they're going to get on the forums and start blabbing it everywhere.

     

    As one poster put it, soe took full credit for the changes. Thats news to me too. I assumed that was the case from the beginning.

    I am sorry to speak to you bluntly, even rudly, but not only is it obvious that you are making up this 'a SOE developer secretly told my buddy at a fanfair that it was all LAs fault' nonsense but your continued, semi-literate abuse of other posters in this thread goes a long way to showing what kind of people play and enjoy the NGE. People like yourself.

  • Huh... thats cool. I didn't know about Brenlo and all that. I was too busy boycotting the changes at the time.

    I didn't know this before, but after talking to some people who went to the latest fan fest, I was told that it was actually Lucas Arts that pushed through the CU and NGE.

    SOE employees can't talk about it because of confidentiality agreements and clauses
