Ask any paid voice actor, they do not get paid anything when compared to what people think. The only people that really get paid a ton are the big names out there. Even they do not get paid all that much. It is the Hollywood screen actors that get paid millions of dollars to simply do a voice. Almost all people that are only doing Voice Overs (commercials, video games, anime, etc.) as their job do not get paid anything when compared to them.

As to answer the OP, yes, I do believe every dime Bioware spent is showing in this game. Yes, it does have bugs. I do not believe there will ever be a single MMO launch that does not have any bugs. MMOs functions completely different than any other game on the market and there are aspect that just are not even testable in betas.

This game is EXACTLY what we were promised, outside of whacky little bugs that will get fixed in time
Just because you aren't a real gamer and don't keep up with the news doesn't mean no one else is and does

You think this game will have 6.5 million subscribers in 6 months? You believe that.. for real?

I'm more of a realist. And judging my the launch, the forums, and the players' general consensus, I can't see it being over 500,000 in 6 months. You're right about one thing, time will tell.
I said this game will be BOOMING and that wow will have lost its playerbase. I didnt say however they would all be here. I trully predict this game having around 2-3 million subs a year from now. WoW will stay around 4-5 for another 3 years. This game will continue to grow.

as someone who has been a part of every major mmo over the last 8-9 years... I have NEVER seen such a positive response for an MMO like this one. The last that was close was in fact WoW There is a buzz about this game thats undeniable and regardless of what you may believe, most people seem to truly enjoy it.

300 Million Dollars I believe the number was.
The SWTOR forums are more fun than the actual game...That says a lot.

Because we like it and think we got what we were promised?

Is it so hard to to accept that taste differs? I have no problem at all comprehending that you do not like it. There are most certainly millions after millions of people that would never play this game for more than ten minutes before getting bored. But they do other stuff instead and do not get worked up about something they do not care about.

We care about the game.

You're grasping at straws and it's bleeding through your post.

The buzz has died down, the new-shiny feeling has died down. The hype has died down.

The game, unfortunately, does not have longevity or "legs," if you will. There is no buzz or mojo on the street about this game. There was before it was released, but.. well, you see the state the game is in now. You read the forums. You get a vibe while playing it.. you know what's going on.

You talk a lot about facts. Go back just three pages and count how many different persons disagrees with you.

Fact: It is several times more than 2.

Again. This game isn't a failure for what it is, it's a failure for what it isn't. I find it hard to believe anyone can argue that, good sir. This game had undeniable potential, it has the Star Wars name backing it.. and, this is what we've got. They released.. this. I feel cheated and somewhat insulted, as should you.
