To me, it looks like SWTOR might be the second largest failure in MMO's (the first of course is FFXIV). There are worse games with lower numbers of course, but nothing so large has failed so hard except for FFXIV. Should Bioware shut the game down and restart from beginning? Of course the game is playable, and is far better than FFXIV at launch, but they have to know that it is a massive disappointment at this point, and I am sure their long term projections for profitability have to have been changed. They have already give a MONTH of free play (and have even fucked THAT up), to get people to keep playing.
I have to say that I am happy when awful money grabs like that fail. Now if I could just get people to stop buying Madden EVERY FUCKING YEAR, and the world might be a better place.
