Just another spit in the face to the star wars community, maybe if your company didnt suck so much and have to lay off half of its employees you wouldnt have had this problem?

Ignoring a star wars convention as a star wars game to go to another convention in germany....god I hate you Bioware.

There are quite a few star war fans over in Europe as well. My husband and I almost got the chance to go there and we are quite happy to see them over here

First off BIoware or EA should never have picked which cons it goes to... At this point they need as much exposure as possible. the boat is sinking and I don't think anyone there knows how to swim. Yes Gamescon is huge and they absolutely need to go... BUT you can not ignore the sheer importance of Celebration VI. This is the only official for the Franchise for the next few year and it has been 4 years since the last. The PR material for this event alone would last for years. Images from this event would probably outlast the game. This is a marketing dream come true. You might even get a legend of the franchise to "test" this game there. Imagine the good that would do for the game. But no.. the only convention for STAR WARS that happens maybe twice a decade and they are skipping it. They can't afford to miss anything that could bring in new players.. They need all the help they can get!! Hell the images for this con alone, convention videos like they did before the game was released would be a huge help. BUT no they CHOOSE to skip the only convention that bears the franchise name and miss their ONLY CHANCE to really connect with that..

As for someone getting fired over there hell yes.. they clearly need a change of management. they have had nothing but epic fails, No follow through, hollow promises, bad marketing, and even worse customer service. Yes they need to clean house over there and this should absolutely be the straw that broke the camels back. There is no viable reason that they would CHOOSE to skip out on this and at the last minute...
May the 4th be with you!!!!!

My my my...you ARE a trusting sort.

I am sure they will come up with something magnificent.

Just you wait and see! It will turn EVERYTHING around.
EA/Bioware just pulled a SOE.. Welcome to Star Wars The old Republic: NGE

Poor decision making on BioWares behalf on not coming to Celebration pretty disappointing.

they deleted my thread about Starwars 1313 being at celebration VI and SWTOR skipped. No notice no post from a dev or community manager.. I wake up and its gone and not in my subscriptions... NICE CENSORSHIP..... no wonder so many people hate this game, the devs, and this is becoming one of the biggest upsets of all time.

OUR so called DEVS cant take any criticisms or own up to their mistakes.

They have been doing that alot lately and I don't know why, I don't think it is very smart seeing as how most of the people on the forums are already po'd.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

I completely agree. they seem to want to hide their mistakes and hope no one notices. They have screwed up so badly that some one the fan sites are starting to take notice at how bad ALL their recent ideas are being received.

I just want to share an update. NVIDIA to the rescue!!! They had a really nice booth set up at Celebration showcasing their 3D camera and tvs, and they decided to set up a table with swtor running on all the computers! People got to create trial accounts and check out the game, or log in and play (comparing performance). I thought that was awesome seeing as another company chose to advertise for swtor, because they couldn't be bothered to show up.
Never forget the OPOD .
