Watch video below for your answer.
My time card ends on December 5th. I have no intent to subscribe, let alone play, after i have completed all 9 episodes of KotFE. Likely i will subscribe for a single month to finish off the ''season'', play what remains and then say good bye to SWTOR until the END of the next season. Enjoy Bioware!

If you were to try to stay true to your completely inaccurate comparison, you would have had no choice for that $25. The waiter would have told you you could have food...not what kind, just that it was a plate the same size as any of their larger plates, and that it would have food on it.

Stop focusing on the PRICE...it's the lack of information, not the price, that this thread is about.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Amusing video. But, if you have a problem with EA, why are you posting on the SWTOR forums? You know EA has its own forums right? You're hitting on the middle-man.

I heard that supposedly Bioware/EA had said Makeb would be a free content update. Now it's not. Guess what? Sometimes you have to pay to keep things going and I am sure this is going towards the numbers that corporate is looking at to decide the amount of future resources into the game. LOTRO subscribers have to pay for expansions, EQ/EQ2 subscribers have to pay for expansions, and WoW subscribers have to pay for expansions.

Just because the content is small doesn't mean it isn't an expansion. People have been trained in the past decade to consider an expansion to double the size of the game. Well that isn't always what an expansion does. Heck the Battlefield 1942 expansions added a small amount of weapons and a few maps each. Overall, with all of the expansions to that game, it maybe doubled the size of the game. Maybe.

Get off your horse, or speeder, or whatever you're riding. If you don't want to pay, don't. If you do end up paying great! I pr-eordered to show EA that this game is worth putting resources into. Then and only then will this game receive the staffing and additional resources it desperately needs.

The MMO industry, especially players are set in this cycle of "Oh no, this game is dying! This game sucks! Can't wait for [insert upcoming MMO here] it will wipe the floor with this game!" Many don't want to stay and try and vote with their wallets that the game is worth the effort. WoW at launch was not the MMO pedestal that is is today, far from it.
Im waiting for developers to realise we are not stupid cattle and our expectations are much higher that medicority they are trying to push at us. When they realise that and change their attitude then and only then will this game receive my money for the staffing and additional resources it desperately needs.

If my intent was - in your own words - "hit on the middle-man". It is not. It is to spread the truth of things to as many people as possible. This is not the only forum I visit FYI.

No solid release date. Barely any features listed. And you want me to pre-order it?

"Hey I've got this great product you can buy! I can't tell you what it is, I can't give it to you when you buy it, hell I can't even tell you when you'll get it. But if you give me money, you'll get it eventually, and I promise whatever it is will be awesome."

Oh dear, whilst I agree with you and haven't pre-ordered myself, was there any need to make another thread?

Also, all they're offering as incentive is "5 days early access". Well, if it doesn't get here until June, who's to say half of us will even be playing the game 5 months from now?
