Signing up with one publisher IN GENERAL is such a confusing decision to make anyways. Not to sound like a hippie, but there just seems to be way more potential with licensing out the property to multiple capable companies. More games, more titles, more of a chance for greater profit and quality. Of course licensing it out to too many people could be a problem, but still.

 

I'll be glad when a more interesting company takes the Star Wars games into their hands.

I dont think going with EA exclusively was an inherently bad idea, but on hindsight it sure has been.

Though I do wonder if Disney is involved in some way... like they have more creative control that is derailing some aspects of the project. its not like Disney seems upset

I agree. It could've been great.

Bioware: Knights of the Old Republic 3
DICE: Battlefront (a solid one)
Petroglyph Games: Empire at War 2
Respawn Entertainment: Republic Commando 2/new IP
Visceral Games: Jedi Knight 3/new IP

Nothing of that came to be though. Such a waste. EA is too investor-driven. They're hilariously tone deaf.
