Gamescom Interview with Jeff Hickman about the future of SWTOR

Say again?

Highlighted the "speculation", in case you missed it.

Here is the "speculation" about monthly content, too. Just in case.

It amazes me how some people will just pay for anything just because they can hold a lightsabre.

Keep trying to justify this sorry excuse for a cash grab. You can try to keep justifying it when they pull the plug on it too.

I read it. I also watched it.

What I did not do is to draw a speculative conclusion (and then try to peddle it as fact) as to what it means, being as it "is being discussed" and he made it clear no decision as been made.

Sorry is what you are saying not speculation i.e. opinion as per your previous post.

I disagree with Styxx, you have been giving the impression, in a number of posts, that you are happy to have BW charge subscribers for Makeb, if so I disagree with you. My opinion is already out there, I tend to use the word opinion a lot as that is all it is.

It seems you don't.

Here is a pair of progressive thoughts to consider:

People who are unhappy with the game, or the business direction of the game (fact or speculative), seek something that you do enjoy and are happy to play..... for enjoyment.

People who are happy playing the game and understand the dynamics of MMO evolution such that they do not let it derail their enjoyment of the game continue to play.... for enjoyment.

BRAVO and QFT.

I judge based on statistics, or tendencies.. or simply.. the past.

And neither EA`s, nor Mr. Jeff Hickman`s... past exploits, give them any credibility.

There should have been NEVER a question about subbed players being asked to pay for Makeb. The very uncertainty of his answer makes me think he knows things we don`t.

If that is your impression, I encourage you to review my posts with a closer eye to what I said and with more objectivity and attention to detail.

My only position on the question, in this largely negative sea of hyperbole that is this thread, is as follows:

A) They have not said if they will charge for Makeb or not. All they have said is it's a lot of content and they are still discussing how (and by inference, when) they will release it.

B) We don't know if Makeb is still as planned, or if they have something bigger planned for it.

C) rather then prosecute the company and it's development and business teams with speculative hyperbole ad infinitim, I am content to wait and see what they actually do before forming any personal opinion about it.

But what does someone who is happy with the game and understand the dynamics of MMO evolution BW style do if it derails their enjoment of the game do.

Answer - either let BW know their displeasure, or quit. One option gives BW a chance to re-evaluate their position, the other doesn't.

This game doesn't need more people leaving so stop with the enjoy/quit BS.

I see.

So not opinion presented as fact, but rather judgement presented as fact. Did I read that correctly?

As is true with opinions, judgement is yours to make. Others are free to disagree with you and even withhold judgement in the absence of fact on the specific topic of Makeb's release status and plan.
