There is negativity following TOR wherever it goes, it's not just the official forums it's EVERYWHERE. I heard people talking behind me on the bus a few days ago. Neither sounded like they knew all that much about gaming beyond Madden and CoD on their Xbox but one of them said "Hey have you heard about The Old Republic going free?" and the other said "I heard it's *********** awful, that's why it's free. Won't be worth playing".

When someone won't play a FREE game because they heard it's that bad you have PR problems. EA needs to fix that. They won't, of course, they are content to just let this game steep in mediocrity but if EA was a well-run company they would work on fixing that.

And considering the capital EA and Bioware have behind them, a TV spot or two wouldnt kill them. One of the reasons WoW hit it so big is the TV spots.

I also saw who was nominated for some of these other awards (I said some). I had to google severl titles to see who they were.

Congrats on beating games I haven't heard of (ok and LOL and Diablo).

I'm glad i'm not the only person who was thinking along the lines of the above. Best Audio should include everything, and although SWTOR isn't perfect in the execution, it sure beats anything D3 had (in fact i'm not sure how D3 even got into this category, most of the time I turned the sound off to listen to some MP3 tracks )

Didn't World of Tanks mop up an awards ceremony by another lot earlier this year?

A parralle to Cheers (the show) might be drawn here. That show in its first year had terrible ratings and was about to be cancelled. Then it dominated the Emmies and from there it blossomed. Hopefully a series of awards and solid reviews will bumb the game up enough for them to keep enough people on staff so that enough content comes out so that I am entertained. Yes it is all about me.

Lol I only can feel bad for the other games ... If SWTOR beats you in any category , your game must be beyond salvation.
