4 Reasons Why BioWare Owes Us A Star Wars Gaming Do-Over

4. Money

star wars knights of old republic Let€™s get this out of the way first; I don€™t delude myself into thinking that the people who call the shots are doing so for the love of the game. They may have started out in that mindset but business is brutal and BioWare hasn€™t been around this long because they don€™t know how to compete for our dollars. The thing is Mass Effect released a bundled collection of all three games not long after the third game hit shelves. It seems to me that if BioWare went back and convinced Lucasarts (this is before Disney shut them down of course) to let them make an updated version of the KotOR series then they could technically make 3 games, sold separately and finally bundled together. With Lucasarts effectively out of the picture and EA taking the reins for The Old Republic MMO, it seems like EA would be more receptive to anything that would shake the stigma of them being the worst thing to happen to existence since Africanized Killer Bees. An updated version of the seminal Star Wars RPG and arguably the greatest RPG in gaming period seems like a no-brainer. However it seems like both EA and BioWare are swept up in the MMO fantasy of butt loads of money for half assed, questionable quality games. The ability to make a buck is there however and as a BioWare loyalist I do feel like I deserve better than the crappy €˜closure€™ aspect of The Old Republic.

Dante R Maddox got started in writing about pop culture in 2007. He developed his conversational style majoring in English and minoring in speech communication, his desire to write as if he were speaking to the reader face to face was the bane of many professors. An odd blend of geek cred and regular fella chic', you're just as likely to end up talking about baseball or politics as you are about comic books and movies (just don't mention Tucker Carlson, you are addressing the man who will go to jail for assault in the future after all). He wrote a book called The Lineage of Durge that's available on Amazon for a small amount of money, he's writing a second while acting as Editor-in-Stuff over at Saga Online Press, there is a graphic novel expansion of his book series also in the works as well as continued development of his cheesecannon, one day Canada...one day (Seriously, a piece of ham, you slice it up and now it's bacon?!?!? I say thee nay!!!)
