From a Goldman Analyst Perspective on SWTOR

Nope.

The OP had some great points on SWTOR business model and the BioWare project management team. The Devs didn't even know enough about MMOs to have a /roll feature. Really brings into question if the Devs played much MMOs in the first place.

Says the expert in what job title people should call themselves.

If this guy really worked for Goldman Sachs he would be fired instantly for misrepresenting the firm in a public forum without compliance approval.

It would have been one thing if he would have made the post with just his observations but he tried to pass it off as analysis while not actually using real analytics.

There's that as well,.......

not that i don't take the word of an internet stranger at face value on his "market research" position.

but honestly. the game is LESS THAN A MONTH OLD.

any speculation or assertion that the game is growing, deflating, whatever is impossible to gauge.


give it 6mo. or see where Sw-tor is once GW2 comes out. Or make an assessment after they release a major content update. ...or don't make a content update for that matter.

as far as that goes. game came out on the cusp of the holiday. was majorly hyped. so it was launched perfectly. launched smoothly enough to be within norms.

servers... are full. and populations are advancing. game has plenty of release content to justify release lvl content.

sure it has flaws. but also has pros.


since when have the geniuses of Wallstreet proven their merit based superiority on anything.

This should have been the second post of the thread.

All that text and time to say ''lolz swtor will fail''.

Simplify your life my friend.

This and I could care less what GS has to say about this game. Hell they're part of the problem with today's economy.
