Kyno I respectfully disagree. How do you explain other subscription based services and games? Whether you’re selling a tv show or video game the idea should be the same. Do you think any of the streaming services would be as successful as they are if you had to buy every tv show a la carte? The idea is to grow the subscriber base with good content. I know CG and EA are big companies but they are much smaller than Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Apple, etc. If money is the name of the game EA and CGs strategy is completely wrong. It’s not about a small group of big spenders, but a massive group of small spenders. Everyone else in business gets it.
It's possible to have a subscription based model, but that in no way means the same group of people would play it. You absolutely could not switch models like that 4 years in. If they wanted to do a subscription based SW game, it would be an entirely new game. And as Kyno mentioned, some of the people playing this game wouldn't play it. I am one of them - I don't pay subscriptions for games, ever.
