EA and M$ are just killing off Developers all over the place. Still it’s to be expceted with companies like M$ and EA, big US comapnies that only care about their profits, while their customers come very low down on the list.

In reply to Holeybartender.

That’s the point, I was hoping for a solid single-player Star Wars game, not an excuse to multiplayer and microtransactions or the nth GaaS. I mean, we know how EA works, how it treats its studios and games that don’t meet their selling expectations (see Andromeda, it would’ve been a better game if EA supported it with better patches and single-player DLCs).
According to Jeffrey Whatever from Kotaku, the game wasn’t canned because it was a single-player game… which adds absolute nothing to the decision taken by EA.

In other words, there’s no online multiplayer we can milk our customers with.

In reply to heima. Naw they just want to rework the gameplay to tack on online multiplayer so they can microtransaction us to death.

I can’t say it wasn’t unexpected. BioWare is still alive probably because its shut down would enrage many, many people. But the BioWare we love is long dead.
Honestly though, I’m sad that the only single player Star Wars game in development is going to be something else entirely.
