@ragnarok013 I'm not saying it's GOOD support...it's definitely dwindled over time. Just pointing out that it's at least still getting SOME support, even if it's still underwhelming. I haven't played SWTOR in a while (not since KotFE/ET) and I know it's been increasingly rough, just trying to counter the "no mention = dead game" stuff from some folks.
Are DICE/BW still seeing a ton of folks leaving? I haven't kept up but I thought the "mass exoduses" already happened and the studios were starting to stabilize with a lot more new folks being brought on board.
@edgecrusherO0 we could make the same comparison with 2042 right now, one map per quarter isn't good support (especially compared with the Premium system) but it's still support but it really shows the game is dead and DICE is just phoning in the support so they can tell investors it's a live game. We all expect content to be drip fed under a live service but this is Chinese Water Torture levels of dripping.
Recent Bioware departures have been in the news both recently and over the past year affecting SWTOR, Dragon Age, and even Mass Effect. It's concerning to say the lease given Anthem and ME:A's reception a few years ago.
Why don’t they understand by now that good game = many players it’s litterly that simple. Devs working on something they can be proud of helps towards loyal developers with passion and making a good game that with a crew like that will be more efficient and that way much cheaper and succesful. Ironically the reason they can push this garbage is because this was once true.
