News Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 While everyone is used to seeing the Star Wars galaxy saved on screen and in the games, could Star Wars be the one to save Electronic Arts? According to Cowen Group analyst Doug Creutz, EA has “missed the boat” this time around. This is because of the company’s recent inability to produce hit [...] Read the full story at starwarsmmo.net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I hope this game fails just to punish EA for getting too overconfident. And of course for manufacturing sub-par and shovelware titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK-42 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I hope this game fails just to punish EA for getting too overconfident. And of course for manufacturing sub-par and shovelware titles. I hope the game dosent fail, but EA dies anyway, and Bioware continues making content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Last I looked, EA owned a good 2/3rds of the gaming market, and while not producing great games, owns and produces most of the generic major titles in gaming, such as every sports game known to consoles. Why does EA need saving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRogueForums Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 EA needs saving simply because they now own Bioware. I hope this game is successful enough to allow Bioware to re-assert themselves as an independent company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I suppose the government will issue a bailout to save the gaming industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRogueForums Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to. I think the bail-outs are about to dry up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hating EA is so '07. Get on with the times, update your boycott filters. Activision is the new EA. Also, according to analyst Alegis from the Alegis Analyst Group, game analysts never have anything interesting to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I still can't say I'm an EA fan, but I was glad to see them take more risks this year with Dead Space and Mirror's Edge, it's just too bad they didn't sell well at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yar-El Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I don't think its too late to create a Old Republic game; however, I wonder if its too late to enter the MMO arena. Time is making the gamestyle stagnated and oldschool. Its arrival to the market may be too late. LucasArts' past games borrowed from previous styles; however, they seem to enter it when people are moving onward. Several people might approach this game as been there, done that. Will The Old Republic save EA? I don't have a clear guess. They will make some money off of it; however, I don't think anyone knows what the game market will look like at it's release. I haven't played a MMO before; nevertheless, I'm getting a oldschool feeling from it's game style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
