Doom_Art 10/20/17 9:42:39 AM #1:	Seriously they're not doing shit with it at all. They've had it like 5 years, we're almost 3 movies deep into the new films now, and we have had one (meh) game. Then we have Battlefront 2 soon But like where's the Jedi Academy and KotOR style games? I never thought I'd say this, but why aren't they milking the shit out of this? --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

Why invest tens of millions of dollars into a game that won't sell skins and lootboxes, and doesn't even have a freakin' leaderboard full of e-peen? You'd have to sell like six or seven million copies just to break even, and can't even shut off the servers in eighteen months to blatantly nudge everyone into buying the next barely-incremental one. If you want single-player (or couch co-op) Star Wars games, Warner is still allowed to make those, for some unknown reason. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:888791379] in Why the he...

Questionmarktarius 10/20/17 10:45:22 AM #10:	marc55 posted... why cant they make more single player games with a multiplayer mode? Because, a single-player game that's actually good, and doesn't collapse into "unable to connect to server" at some arbitrary point in the future, means it will get played and replayed and replayed again, instead of being discarded in favor of next year's half-assed iteration. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:888791862] in Why the he...
