SWTOR: General Board?
Fine. I'm willing to. I have your word I won't get banned if it starts a board riot?
Or did you mean on EA's TOR forums?

Besides their non-existent customer service I have no issues.
I complained about the memory leak/texture overwrite issue a bunch, but seriously the lack of timely customer service will piss any customer off.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I read it.
It says, One Analyst.
One doesn't mean all. It's like saying correlation implies causation.
It's not just true, because one person says so.

Because you should instantly go to the front of the line. All those other 800,000 people just don't matter!

Of course, EA is keeping mum about how much money it actually spent, so there's no hard data to support this theory. Still, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it turned out to be true: If you're going to make a game that will possibly unseat World of Warcraft, you better go big or go home.
Doug Cruetz - an analyst posted:
"I think it's safe to say that the total all-in investment in 'Star Wars' is probably approaching half a billion dollars. EA has minimized its risks as much as it can on this bet, but it's still a risky bet. To the extent that any one game defines his tenure, it's going to be how Star Wars performs."
MMORPG.com posted:
This means that, assuming EA is only giving The Old Republic a year to break even (remember, an aggressive measure), EA is requiring $153 million from The Old Republic to break even. Round that down a bit to $150 million, and that starts to look suspiciously like the sort of round number batted around in executive planning sessions, doesn't it?
$150 million dollars.
This would easily make The Old Republic the most expensive computer game ever produced.
And that is what I mean by EA attempting, at one swoop, to spend the rest of the industry into the ground. Because EA is one of the few publishers that can even consider a $150 million project.
So - we've got estimates on both ends of the spectrum. EA won't divulge the numbers. So...that leaves us where?

um I never said that but 10 days to respond to an issue that made the game unplayable.
that is unsatisfactory customer service in any industry.
