They should've just made KotoR3, would've made them a lot more money. I hope everyone learned their lesson here.

I wasn't even considering buying this game because it was subscription based. But now that it's free-to-play, I might buy and play through the main story, just to satisfy my curiosity.

is that a record btw? 7 months after launch and it's now completely free to play. I know DC:UO was faster but that was helped by sony online being hacked and taken down for almost 2 months right after the game launched.

Even if this had just cost EA the minimum estimated dev cost of 200million dollars that is a cost of $952000 per day for each day of the 7 months this game was online as a subscription based game.

That is ofc not including the costs of running a fantastic customer support team yelling at anyone with legit complaints to go back to wow (which they all seem to have done) and the costs of hiring a whole team just to go around msg boards and forums to build up hype and positivity for this rubbish.

Bring on KotoR3...

along with free to play til lvl 15 and the fact that you can buy this in gamestop here for about 15-20euros now sales will probably go up a little bit, but this is a dead duck in terms of making back the 200-300m spent on voice acting for it, you really don't need that much money spent to hire A-List celebs to voice a quest where you go and kill 6 space boars. funny out the comments here from clos3 trying to call out someone for predicting this would bomb? oddly hasn't commented much in the last while, wonder why.

A shame that it has done so little . I've only played the beta as of yet , but i do want to get it at some point . I really hope it will survive and have a strong community .
I also hope that it will not go free to play on one side . Simply because i hope it will be better supported that way .

Its price recently plummeted. Contemplating a purchase just to blaze through the story content.
