The longevity of this game

How long do you think this game will live?
I know it's been out for less than a month, but the potential is really huge. I mean, we don't even know all the upcoming features (inactive options in the main menu), and with new Star Wars films to be released every year from now on, the number of possibilities is incredible. It is a question of whether EA and CG have the intention of the game lasting for so long, or replacing it with some other title (or a sequel maybe). There are still many flaws but I've been playing since October and love it so far. Really hope it to last and improve constantly. Overall, it's cheaper to enhance something that's good then make something new, out of the black.

I bet you will lose interest and move on long before this game ends. Usually power creep, nerfs, and cost eventually drive away most of the player base and once it becomes unprofitable, the devs stop supporting it. Thats usually 10 to 20 years. Ultima Online, Everquest, etc. are still going.

now, these were real games though... this is something tailored for "generation selfie" with maybe a 0.5% of "real" content of any of the games you listed.

EA can consider studying what the Koreans are doing with Marvel Future Fight. They are doing fantastic with the roster available ( no xmen, no ff4, etc), and continue to keep players spending.
