Star Wars.

For the record, I called this. I'm also saddened that another series will be destroyed.

Yup. That's how I feel. On one hand we get new Star Wars titles. But on the other we get....

EA

Origin

Battlelog

Micro Transactions

Always online requirements

EA

Origin

EA

The bad far outweigh the good.

Ugh. I haven't bought an EA game in ages. Then again, haven't bought a good star wars game in ages either. KNotOR was the last star wars game I bought.

Now add EA and Star Wars, I don't think it's a good combo. I wonder if it will be any better than the current Star Trek game to come out.

Hopefully, the next Star Wars will be good despite of EA's control over it.

Not that hard, really. After all, it's kinda hard to make 'em any worse than they are now...

Don't tempt them, they'll keep finding ways to disappoint gamers.

Well, when they go from "Disney closed everything down, nothing but kiddie Star Wars games from now on!" rumors to this..... isn't it an improvement, even if it isn't as good as one might hope?

I knew there would be no "kiddie games forever", but my Mentok powers failed me here. I'm blown away by this news. Not in the good way either.

It's a bit of a stretch but some serial killers weren't always bad people nor were they evil every single second when they did become murderers.

Doesn't change the fact that they were serial killers in the later part of their life.

EA might not be "evil" every single second of the day, but they do enough crap to become villified by many.

Chin up, guys. EA announced the Sims 4 too and I don't care what anyone says. Those games are boss.

EA was finally dying, I guess they needed to bring out the big guns. I am sad to say they will live for a long time now. *sigh*

Why does everyone hate this? I don't get it. Sure, EA has a reputation, but the overriding factor is this:

Pick the studio you think would do the best job at Battlefront 3. DICE.

Pick the studio you think would do the best job at KOTOR 3. Bioware.

Honestly, who else was supposed to pick up the rights to StarWars games?
