The mechanics of this game can't be used in a non-SW game. I mean, the mechanics revolve around the structure and such.

Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

Bioware hasn't reached any new sales plateau and MMORPG retention is sub 50% so the numbers can only be going down dramatically.

Not even close to the same.

Hell, you were probably one of these clowns before the report came out last week, posting that subs were already down to 500k and SWTOR would be going F2P by March.

It's a very valid comparison, your blind fanboism has the best of you.

As for the "numbers" that have come out, everyone should know that the Q3 release from EA counted those numbers as of DECEMBER 31st, 2011. This is what that means:

#1. This was when there was a free month.

#2. The good looking math is likely NOT so good looking now, a month and some change down the road from when that was reported.


CLIFFS: We'll have to see when they release another financial statement. My guess: It isn't going to be pretty and EAs stock is going to fall. Hard.
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse. But the subscriber numbers are as of February 2, date of the earnings release.

Again it is not even close. Pro Bowl is meaningless, whereas getting 1m subs is not. (it does not ensure success, but it is certainly a very good start.)

If you wanted to at least make a reasonable comparison, it would be like going 14-2 in the regular season and losing your first playoff game at home.
