Re: Can SWTOR come on console

I don't know, I can't know. Maybe the problem is just that EA simply doesn't wants to invest into SWTOR anymore.

My only care about this is that if SWTOR came on PS4 it would allow the game to survive a bit more, since it's my favorite game.

It is, indeed, a good game.
But with most of the servers being dead or defunct, there's little to no reason to put anything more into this game.

As a day 1 closed beta tester, I feel the pain that a fantastic game is ending.  But they don't have the population to keep it afloat.  Harbinger is the only real place that they have an active community.  Everywhere else is dead or dying.

I gather You haven't played for a bit ? See this link for changes 

Harbinger is no longer a server name per that link, mind people are now complaining servers are full , example link

Ok, but they literally went from 17 servers (and previous to that many more) down to five.  For an entire MMO.
One French, one German, and one EU English.  2 North America servers.

I reiterate my point.  Because it still holds true even now.

Dead or dying servers.  Claiming that the servers are now too full is asinine.  Of course they would be!  They took 3 servers and merged them.  They took 5 and merged them.  But of course they did.  It was a ghost town on some of those servers.  I went through entire planets and capital ships and found not a single living person. It's why I started moving all my characters to Harbinger.


And when a game starts having less and less servers, that means it's dying.  And refusing to believe that is stupid.

Putting it onto PS4 and Xbox One (which will, also, soon have keyboard support) would succesfully reinvigorate the populations.

Oh, but then it would cost them money.  Which is the whole reason we now have 5 servers.  Budget constraints.

If I was a rapper I'd help no problem 

Now can u guy bring swtor to console you should be making a lot of money with apex if you guy bring swtor Ill probably waste a few checks on it

I think that now Xbox is really going the route of supporting Xbox games with mouse and keyboard support to actually play the games it's more likely that they will offer it via Xbox. Besides, on the PS you'll have to make a completely new account and you cannot use anything that you've got on your PC account because Sony. So that's another reason to go to Xbox instead of PS4. Admittedly EA doesn't seem to care how many people they tick off but in the end I'd say BioWare is not in a position where they need even more criticism.

If Disney says do it yall have no choice simple🙂

I think Bioware and EA need to reconsider. You guys have made upwards of 1 billion dollars on SWTOR. I think you need to reconsider plans to release on consoles. There are plenty more ways to tap reserves to bolster your profits by releasing to consoles. This would be a wise business move with the new systems coming out end of 2020 not to mention Microsoft's project Xcloud which would make it possible to stream swtor to whatever you want. Your game would reach so many more players your profits you make will keep this game's development and longevity going for another 10 years.

@cconnor3 there are currently no plans to bring SWTOR to any console. 

If any of you got a couple of millions lying around, I guess we can talk again about this :D

bahaha i literally just cracked up at this response so endearing

As if EA doesn't have millions, this comment is ridiculous especially seeing as ya'll made mad money off the battlefront 2 celebration edition and didn't deliver on anything, you guys are a disgrace to the gaming community and it honestly makes me sad that you think its funny to act like you just cant make it happen, we all know you could but ur too focused on battlefield profits

So you're saying if someone was willing to pay millions of dollars to get it ported to a console you guys would be willing to do all that work
