If you missed this insider's blog, this is what EA Louse had to say about SWTOR during the latter stages of development.
“And you know what they’re most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That’s the best they have. The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas, they’re panicking, and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can’t keep pushing back launch.”
Most folks ignored him, myself included. Evidently we did so at our own cost. He was entirely right and we're feeling it. He's been completely vindicated.
I now hand the post over to the droves of level 32 fanboys who will insistently assert that there's nothing wrong with this game.
It's incredibly ironic how gleeful most people are about telling those of us with concerns to quit the game while they spend their time soloing to 50 amidst the reality of sharp and irreversible server population declines.
Another MMO bites the dust.
