It's crazy that every major company that gets Star wars has just majorly fumbled with the license. Like when EA had full control of Starwars gaming and have sat on it.. for years. The fact that we as fans know the full potential and these companies continue to fail shows how out of touch they are. With real people

[@mwmatthews1]

Ubisoft and EA are the worst game companies out there. Why do they get this IP? Surely Lucasarts could build a studio in-house or, at least vet the contractors

[@AgentHK-47]

That's because of Disney. They backseat and demand changes on every project to an extent that ruins the project itself. Ubisoft however, would have destroyed it with or without Disney puppeteering the project.

[@slckb0y65]

it's almost as if Star Wars was in better hands back when it was handled by the real Lucasart huh ??

[@johannord4778]

Except EA takes out their frustation and blame on the studio for the failure instead. Plus I would say they are better at SW games take Fallen order for example.

[@skits_3d824]

There's hate and then there's constructive criticism. People NEED to recognize the difference between the two. Take what you learn from a failure and do better. If that means accepting your actions where wrong and the product you made doesn't show consumer value whether it's lore accurate or not. If it doesn't make money for your company then it falls back on to the employers and cast that released the said game/movie/book/show/toy/ whatever. That would cost jobs and money in the end if failures keep happening.

This is the equivalent of force feeding someone literal shit and then when they complain about it saying “People nowadays expect Lobster and Caviar and ‘a solid source of protein’ isn’t enough”

Pretty sure there's a kink for LITERALLY that exact scenario, force feeding and all. Soooo... apparently it IS liked, by some. The issue is when everyone is made to experience it, regardless of whether they want it or not.
