You're just being difficult and/or trolling. What people say and what people do, 2 different thing. If you arent happy go play that zerging game.

Free access is WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW.

You should read the original interview, not a copy paste from the text made by joystick.com. Forbes isn't the source for games news and they even get the trouble to investigate the truth about this interview.

So your argument boils down to "I'm right because they're lying". Listen this isn't BioWare. Yeah I went there. BioWare hasn't be very truthful as of late with ME3 ending, etc. I do not assume that they're going to lie about the biggest aspect of their game. Everyone would quit and they'd be left with nothing so they can't afford to lie like BioWare can with SWTOR. If only 250k people play TOR then that's still 15 dollars a month from 250,000 people. B2P doesn't allow you to drop in quality as much.

I wont pretend to speculate on the inner workings of EA/BW. but also don't stick your head in the sand and act as if it isn't being addressed/considered by EA/BW.

We�re going to be in the business from a long-term standpoint so absolutely we�re going to embrace free access, free trial, ultimately some day we can move in and embrace that model,� EA�s Frank Gibeau told GamesIndustry International, noting also that EA is �really proud of Star Wars� and � really excited about the launch.� "I don�t think subscriptions ever go away".

Free access is WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW. wow the caps made it so much clearer that doesn't mean it's going full F2P, you are just spouting rumor and useless conjecture.

btw "We're going to be in the business from a long term standpoint so absolutely we're going to embrace free access, free trial, ultimately some day we can move in and embrace that model. It's all a matter of timing and thinking things through. We have a great business right now and we're not looking to make any abrupt changes."

We have to be flexible and adapt to what is going on,� BioWare Lead Designer Emmanuel Lusinchi said recently now read that again...in nearly every language, that's called a direct quote. it's not speculation, it's a direct quote from someone in authority at BW. deny that. again I say that nowhere does it say it's going to happen, but don't be an idiot and ignore the very basic fact that it's on the table for consideration at some level..

Don't go around spreading bs. Trolling as an art and should be treated as such. If you're going to do it do it well at the very least. If not add to conversation at hand. http://www.darkademic.co.uk/blog?id=202 Quote: When it comes to the concerns surrounding Guild Wars 2's endgame, or lack thereof, there are a few that have been widely raised, and they can be broken down into two broad categories; concerns about the lifespan of the content, and concerns about the nature of the content.
