George's personal feelings towards Bioware won't be a factor. Ofcourse, after they (voluntarely or were forced) skipped Celebrations three weeks ago, the relationship can't be good, that's for sure.
They had a booth presence at Celebration after all, if I'm not mistaken.

As far as I know Nvidia was demoing SWTOR, but there was no official SWTOR booth at the Celebration, as per the angry people in a thread about the subject a while back.

No actually SOE did not try at all, and that was the problem. Trying would have made SWG look like SWTOR. They made a few horrendous changes that kinda looked like wow on the outside except left the terribad UI alone and made the game a total clusterfluff and sat back waiting for profit. Then apparently they got the game back on track after several years and decided to jam it into the garbage even further with their trading card game.

The orginal SWG was absolutely briliant. I miss that game so much, after cu.. not so much. They had a stellar game and then shot it in the head. SWTOR was shot in the head at launch, and is only recently getting better. 200 to 300 million reportedly spent on the original game. ON WHAT? I'd love to see a line by line breakdown. I bet shareholders would also.

Everyone forgets the issues we all complained about Pre CU/NGE
-Broken Classes
-Broken Content
-Bugs, Bugs and more bugs
-No Content.
-Broken Promises

Yet everytime people talk about it, its referred to as some mythical MMO Utopia that got everything right and never had any issues ever, and then act like the changes were attempted for no real reason.

SWG was a great game for me, but it was the people, not the buggy, broken, and missing promises

I agree, I played swg from launch through the cu and nge, the game was bad at launch and bad later, if the game had been so great and was retaining subs there would have never been a cu/nge, I followed the business side of SWG, it was sinking ship shortly after launch, then they did focus study and boom cu later nge came along, thick rose colored glasses are strong in swg..
My friends and I always said we played swg not for the horrible game, but because we hung out and did some fun things in The Star Wars univers, as we were all huge Star Wars fans..
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Star wars 1313 dos'nt appear to be a MMO.
