I could see how 1 game not doing anywhere near as expected could have stock prices go down fast. which record? the one in your imagination ? now in reality since the announcement of SWTOR they have said nothing even close... in fact they actual said the opposite on many occasions... that they were NOT trying to make a "WoW killer" and that they didn't expect it to surpass or even match WoW in sub numbers.. the ONLY people who said this was going to match or beat WoW in subs were fans... and if you buy stock and base your finances off of random people online's opinions you deserve to loose money because your an idiot and part of the reason most of the world's first world countries are in economic decline

The game is still viable. Its going to be around a long time. I'm still having fun playing it. I drive a Chevy, I have a about four Dell computers, I'm not checking their stock either. I'm not sure why anyone would try to draw that correlation to a video game either.

There are only three options for this game now, and two of them is SWTOR going under. A) The game goes F2P B) EA goes under and the game gets closed down C) the game gets shut off Actually, which is sillier, playing a video game and not caring about stock options, or pretending to be a stock analyst on a game board and assuming that one knows anything about where the stock, or where this game is going? ;p You have no idea of what is going on. ;p

I hope EA as a comapny fails. Maybe Bioware can be an independent publisher again.

I am not a fan of EA, but have been in the past for Bioware. Right now, it appears most IT companies and especially Game Publishers are closing down or cutting cost as I have seen any with decent stock values.

Don't give me "it's a buisness they gotta make money" they pretty much copy the last 10 years of other standard MMO mechanics and features and expect to compete with Wow as a clone. thats not innovation. Making you game's world's a true virtual open space with the ability to raise violent sith children to help rule the sed galaxy in your own custom built star destroyer with your companion providing lap dances to visitors who buy from your custom ship vendor while you organize a large scale invasion to capture and control coruscant from the republic and hold it ransom for a weeks until other players work as a large scale team to take it back. now that a bit of innovation. Can I play this game please?

I could live with no SWTOR if it meant EA crashed and burned.

Would you really want to see thousands of people lose there jobs as studios that EA keep a float get potential shut down which could include Bioware. I know EA has a bad rep and with good reason they have done and continue some bad practices, but EA are pretty much ingrained into video games as we know it today.
Didn't get CE version, but did get an official SWTOR T-shirt instead.
