You can look at that two ways. Aemon Send a noteboard - 17/06/2010 06:48:47 PM
On the one hand, you might think that a company is making an MMO instead of a single player game, and thereby keeping you from your favorite kind of title. On the other hand, the company obviously thinks that making an MMO will bring in more cash than making a single player title. What will they do with more money? They will make more games.

It's true that MMOs might be making you miss out on some single player games, but then again, they might just be funding those same single player games. An awfully large number of game companies have gone belly-up over the years, primarily because they can't survive a failed game. If an MMO is safer, or provides a cash cushion to work with, that MMO might be responsible for the continued existence of your favorite series.

Anyway, if you don't want to pay monthly fees, that's fair enough (though I've argued many times on this board that playing an MMO you enjoy is cheaper than playing an equivalent number of single player game hours). However, I don't think the production bit is quite as cut and dry as you might imagine. :)

Their solution is to make the other classes bad ass and level the playing field. - 16/06/2010 09:28:14 PM 777 Views
But I want to play as an R2 unit. *NM* - 17/06/2010 01:33:07 PM 437 Views
I want to play as a non-Jedi or Sith force user. - 18/06/2010 09:55:56 PM 1134 Views
That would be an interesting twist. Maybe play as a Witch of Dathomir, or some other variation. *NM* - 18/06/2010 11:43:28 PM 422 Views
Nerd. *NM* - 19/06/2010 04:19:25 AM 427 Views
How much of that will I actually be able to do though? - 15/06/2010 09:30:20 PM 804 Views
Heh, probably not. That's why I said the trailer didn't really have any game info. Just cool is all. - 15/06/2010 09:31:05 PM 724 Views
My fantasy hasn't changed for a true Star Wars game. - 15/06/2010 10:10:14 PM 764 Views

Don't buy into that republic propaganda. *NM* - 16/06/2010 10:24:10 PM 421 Views
Looks great, but I despise MMOs. Such a waste of time and money, and at the cost of sp titles... - 17/06/2010 02:52:32 PM 727 Views
