Still more than EA did with the properties they bought from Origin, Bullfrog, and Westwood

>>11026631
I almost forgot.
Thanks for reminding me.
Guess I'll play Jedi Knight II soon.

It would look the same even without the EA exclusivity because that's how games work now. They're just money pits that take 10 years to produce garbage. Look at Rockstar from that same early 2000s period to today.

No it wouldn't, Lucasarts used to license out the property to pretty much anyone. Even today after Disney have wiped their ass with the franchise, Star Wars still carried enough weight and has such a cool and interesting universe that many game devs would want to produce Star Wars games. So if Lucasarts still owned the IP, then we'd be getting a lot more Star Wars games.

That volume didn't just have to do with licensing it out to multiple studios though. It was also a time when games got turned around very quickly. Jedi Starfighter for example was made and released in 5 months. Meanwhile, there's talk about a Total War Star Wars game in development that is 5-6 years out at best.

The emperor was never in any danger of dying tho. His clone body was safely stored on Exegol.

Anon, EA had exclusive rights to make Star Wars game in this period. No one else could even pitch a Star Wars game to Disney because they were simply not allowed to make any, unless they were EA.
And EA LOST the exclusivity rights because they were making few, and terrible, games with it.
Without exclusivity, yes you fucking would have seen more SW games.

>>11026965
I get what you're saying, I'm just saying there's other variables too. The picture insinuates that the EA exclusivity is the sole reason there is not an abundance of star wars games, but there's other significant variables as well.

>>11026986
Petroglyph has been begging EA to let them make another Star Wars Empire At War which isn't AAA and they still weren't allowed to do it.
We got a terrible bottom of the barrel remaster collection of the original Battlefront games because EA saw that people like the old games better, and it failed hard.

>>11023965
and yet they never even mentioned me in the movies wtf

Here's your spiritual successor, bro.

>90% off not even a year after release

lol, lmao even

I bought it for 3$ and still haven't played it.

As a kid that grew up on X-Wing I always thought the future of competitive/co-op gaming was going to be crazy space combat simulators. Instead we got shitty FPS games.

Normies ruined gaming
I stopped buying consoles after gen 6

>>11027909
dogfights are repetitive and have low skill ceilings

AI is too dumb
>a single tie fighter destroys the entire Alliance fleet
AI is too smart
>this game is bs

Investors want a home run on every investment. Gone are the days of the mid-range success. If it isn’t hitting nine-figure sales, no one cares.

The industry needs to rediscover the tentpole strategy. Make a core of games that are highly profitable, then use the profit to fund artistic and intellectual games. FFS the current gacha model is perfect for this.

>>11027952
Isn't that most games?

>>11026639
>Origin
I wonder if I'm just not paying attention or if no one has blatantly ripped off Ultima(6/7 or Underworld) for their indie throwback RPG.
No, Ascendant doesn't count.
