Welp, there goes any hope I had of having a great single player action/rpg game set in the Star Wars universe... Their excuse is complete bullshit too.

"We found that while players liked what Visceral was making, because it was a single player campaign we couldn't figure out how to implement microtransactions to force players to pay or grind for many hours. So we pulled the plug."

As a huge fan of the first two Dead Space games, and someone who was looking forward to their Star Wars game, this is fucking sad. I hate the way the games industry is just becoming a clusterfuck of full retail games that offer no new ideas, but slap DLC and microtransactions to try and make a quick buck. While the new and exciting games get squashed before they get a chance because greedy execs want to squeeze out as much money as possible from every title.

Why did Disney have to give the rights to all Star Wars games to EA of all people. :\
