I agree with a lot of what you said, but I can sum up the Disney response. Bob Iger does not understand the video game industry which is why he dismantled Lucas Arts and sold the IP to EA for ten years. He wanted nothing to do with video games. He still does not want anything to do with video games. He is on record, publicly, saying as much. As such, Disney does not care, they get their royalties until CG is shuttered and boarded and the servers are taken offline. As long as Disney gets it's tribute, they will not intervene.
Scrybe, and I'm not speaking for him, just paraphrasing so watch his video for yourself, has now stated he's spoken with reps at CG and they plan on pressing forward with how the game is now until the end of the era in Feb 2026. Any changes to the game will come then. They are invested in pushing this on us no matter what we say or do. If the game ends because no one buys anything, I'm sure they will just drop LSB to make up the revenue. Which is why we have not seen any new LSB this month for the "BIG ANNVY" month celebration which it went with a whimper.
I'm livid with how bad this lay-away program for toons is rolling out and the sad state of the game for those of us remaining to play it. I'm even more angry that I bought the episode pass and it appears there is no way to get to 50 without buying pass plus or buying StRomtrooper Luke to get to the LST at the end of the chain. With no Galactic Challenge mode, they've monetized all aspects of the game. It's just a matter of time before Conquest rewards will cost money or we'll be asked to pay money to spend energy or access our accounts. Greed knows no bounds and CG has definitely surpassed EA's expectations of loot box mechanics. I am actually starting to wonder if it's possible to show the court EA lost in for loot boxes how this game is capitalizing on the system which the court said was unlawful. Belgium had the right idea, gambling = outlawed activity.
