I’m pretty new to swtor just feel bummed if they stop development especially if we don’t get closure for the story. I really hope they release a new expansion to atleast give us closure on the story before development stops. Idk just with dragon age and anthem there likely to just end it. Sorry if this post come off bad but I really enjoyed the story of this game thus far in comparison to other mmos I’ve played Edited February 12, 2018 by vedalyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mubrak Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) It's quite normal to transfer manpower from a project that runs well with little maintenance to an important project in progress to meet the deadlines there. This happens in every business, nothing strange here. This thread is about you reading in an article that well informed sources told the author that they have heard that Bioware DISCUSSED ending development of Swtor. (Or stopping development of 6.0 until they have more breathing room with Anthem development? Who knows? None of us were there, not even the Kotaku author.). All we know is that BW's answer to the article was teasing 6.0. I highly doubt that Bioware has much to say in the matter. EA pays the bills, EA collects our money. If EA wants to keep Swtor running, and BW refuses to do so, EA will fire them, close down what remains of Bioware and assign Swtor to Motive Studios. If EA decides today that Swtor isn't worth it, the servers may not come up again tomorrow, but why should they? 20 years old Ultima Online is still running, (And soon going F2P). What will end Swtor for sure is revenue sinking below maintenance costs, Disney not extending the license, or the release of the next star wars mmo.

SteveTheCynic Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Biowareist 1: Ending development on SWTOR would be a bad idea, wouldn't it? Biowareist 2: Yeah, I agree. These two dudes "discussed ending development on SWTOR". And yet there's nothing to fear. Sure, that might not be how it went, but it does show that "they discussed X" is essentially meaningless without some knowledge of how the discussion went.
