If you’re one of the last four remaining Star Wars Galaxies players, and had hoped the game might be saved from its scheduled termination later this year by moving over to a free-to-play model instead, prepare to be totally disappointed because…
It’s not going to happen.
“[T]hat model just isn’t financially viable,” LucasArts tells GamePro. “Changing the business model for an experience like Star Wars Galaxies takes a major investment and overhauling of the existing infrastructure of the game. We’re unfortunately at a point in our life cycle where a change of this magnitude is just not possible. The harsh reality is that we’ve reached a point where the game is no longer a sustainable business.”
“Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained,” adds Admiral Motti, via interstellar broadcast from the Empire’s Death Star, where engineers are already prepping a huge laser battery to destroy the game servers. “Suck it up and go play something else instead.”
