You were one the people who originally was defending the game.

I expect to see that subscriptions have either declined ( < 1.7 million) or stagnated (around 1.7 million).

But before any of that happens people who's vision was to make this game exclusive to origins will be fired
If

The subs haven't dropped yet and I think it will take a lot more than TOR losing subs to make Origins fail

You mean like WoW stagnated at 1 million for almost a year?

While I'll agree with your general anti-doom-saying sentiment, you do realize that they could say subscriptions have remained at 1.7 million, but subscriptions could still have dropped, right?

Anything from 1,799,999 to 1,700,001 can be considered 1.7 million. If you don't think they're doing some fancy footwork when they toss that number around...

The reality is the number have had to change, but they're being extremely clever by using general figures.

Who's talking about WoW? When you resort to ad hominem, you lose credibility in the discussion.

I already think Origins is an Epic Fail (my opinion of course and that's not cannon)

Origins won't fail, because EA financially is brought up by their console sales so they can take it in the rear from there pc end all they want. But when Sim City comes out Origins exclusive someones going to point out maxis other franchise (the sims, which is heavily the pc gravy train for EA) and see the sale where higher because of the cross digital distribution, someones going to get fired or let go

Chill,
I was merely pointing out that stagnation in subs isn't necessarily a bad thing and that it's happened before to very successful MMO's.

Sure, but to dismiss that it might be an indication of something not so great is silly.
