Goretzu Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 1.3 million is laughable. It's still pretty decent. 2nd most successful Western MMORPG (so far). The trend is worrying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBull Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Time to grab a drink and a snack and look back through the predictions. Maybe even make a little list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikrouDeco Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/star-wars-the-old-republic-loses-400000-players-in-two-months/ Electronic Arts is in a state of flux. The company that Markus “Notch” Persson, creator of Minecraft, called a “bunch of cynical bastards” that are “methodically destroying” video games is trying to find its place in a medium that is changing. EA is turning further away from massive productions that cost upward of $200 million to produce and on to smaller titles in the mobile and social spaces. What EA game cost $200 million to produce? Star Wars: The Old Republic. The MMO took six years to develop, with a staff of 800 people working on four continents to see the game to completion. Was it worth the gamble? Back in February, 1.7 million players were exploring the galaxy together. These were active subscribers too, the players EA is banking on for revenue each month. That population is in steep decline though. EA announced during its fiscal year earnings report on Monday that Star Wars’ membership has fallen to 1.3 million.
