This is a brilliant article about how EA has failed once again.

I don't think much of the author, if he wanted to change something during development he should of done something then not now.. But a few interesting quotes in there:
On Warhammer:
On new Star Wars MMORPG:
Warhammer pretty much sucked. I bought it and didn't even enter my CD key/credit card as I never finished the 30 free days.
Also Old Republic will never be as good as the original Star Wars Galaxies.. still waiting for SWGEMU.

On Warhammer:
We sold mor ethan a million boxes, and only had 300k subs a month later. Going down every since. It’s “stable” now, but guess what? Even Dark Age and Ultima have more subs than we have. How great is that? Games almost a decade make more money than our biggest project.
And Bioware? Don’t make me laugh. They’ve spent more money making the Old Republic than James Cameron spent on Avatar. Shit you not. More than $ 300 million! Can you believe that?
And you know what they’re most proud of? This is the kicker. They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That’s the best they have. The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas,they’re panicking , and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can’t keep pushing back launch.
Old Republic will be one of the greatest failures in the history of MMOs from EA. Probably at the level of the Sims Online. We all know it too ……
