It is estimated that the game made $139 million in additional revenues on top of the subscription income in 2013.

Several books and comics based on the game have been released. The game was met with positive reception upon release and has received several updates and expansion packs.

The game has since adopted the hybrid free-to-play business model with remaining subscription option. The game had one million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's 'fastest-growing MMO ever', however, in the following months the game lost a fair share of its subscriptions, but has remained profitable. Different classes favor different styles of gameplay, and the game features extensive customization options, fully voiced dialogue, companion characters, and dialogue options similar to BioWare's other role-playing games.Īlthough not officially disclosed, based on estimates, it is one of the most developmentally expensive games made. Players join either the Republic or the Sith, but players may possess a morality at any point along the light/dark spectrum.

The video game was released for the Microsoft Windows platform on Decemin North America and part of Europe. Developed by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare Edmonton, the game was announced on October 21, 2008. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars is a gold mine of a universe to explore but Disney seems to be a lot more interested in opening up already dug-through mines, rather than opening new ones up.Massively multiplayer online role-playing game I imagine that someone doing a marathon watch of the new trilogy will get whiplash from the direction changes between the three movies. We don't need a retelling of the same story, and I think that one of Disney's biggest mistakes was not having a unified vision for a trilogy when they made the new ones. I haven't seen much of Book of Boba Fett but the issues pointed out seem to echo what I feel are some of the main problems with Star Wars in general.

There are hints of that in some of their work, I think the Mandalorian is pretty good, I think most people agree that Rogue One is a good movie and I even liked Solo, despite its reception by most people, and Fallen Order is one of the best Star Wars games we've ever gotten.

I honestly feel like the people managing Star Wars are more concerned with making a Star Wars that appeals to everyone rather than a unique new take on the series or something that builds upon it in a meaningful way. The best Star Wars content we've gotten post Disney-acquisition happened because of talented Directors and in spite of Disney's influence, not because of it. I wouldn't say it doesn't take risks, they definitely took some risks in the 'new trilogy' but I do empathize with the sentiment that they don't have a general vision behind it.
