Who knows? It's all speculation. The bottom line is that if BW doesn't make HUGE changes, SWTOR is HISTORy.
That which doesn't kill you... only postpones the inevitable.

The ranked pvp wont change the gameplay, the gameplay is real reason most have left. It isnt appealing and feels more like a job than fun. The die hard fans will always defend even when deep down they know there is problems, it called denial it when someone enters into a psychological state were they dont want to believe the truth.

Not to mention the damage to name Starwars from this abomination to it gene. People dont understand that the game isnt a sucess and it actually doesn't even have 1.7 million paying subscribers and it about to have less next month alot less.
i'd hate to take investment advice from you..

holy idiocy.

give me PROOF. i want solid PROOF of your bold claims. and i also want official numbers and i won't agree with you until those official sub numbers came right from the CEO himself. Because other than him nobody knows what's going on its all idiots like yourself doom-saying at spreading around bad information.

people said rift was going free to play a year ago. never happened in fact its EXPANDING and people are STILL saying its failed as an MMO /facepalm.

get over yourself bro.

Get to lvl50 then your opinion maters not someone whom just began the game and doesnt have any experience in it. You said I only just began playing it many people liked it until saw it for what it is.

General overhead is usually included in indirect labor costs, so you are most likely double counting it. Conversely, your number of subscriptions is high and you are ignoring variable costs. Your lifecycle for the investment analysis seems to be 4 months, which is obviously a flawed assumption. The end result is that your "analysis" is a classical example of garbage in, garbage out.

So when EA reported in its quarterly earning statements that SWTOR did better than expected, it is lying to its investors?

You can only judge that if you can separate out other factors which affect the share price (and there are many). I'm willing to bet that the recent announcement of a 25% drop in all video game sales had a bigger impact on the share price than anything that is specific to SWTOR:

Bioware is saving the Star Wars name not hurting it. The only good SW stories that feel like SW have come from Bioware. Lucas has killed the franchise with his prequels. This is coming from a 501st member who sold his armor after seeing Episode I.
