I'd wager being the holder to the current license for this game and it's less than Steller performance, there could be a shift in the game.
One being because EA will likely need to continue to pay for some license to this game and will not be able to recoup additional monies on the SW name in returnby making other games. Combined with SWTOR isn't likely to bring in enough profit for EA. Notice I said, enough profit. Not that it isn't making some profit but as we all know. A little profit isn't good enough for EA.
Two, I do wonder if the cash shop market will change in the next two years as well. While that doesn't mean a whole lot, I find the cash shop in swtor to be way overpriced as is. $50+ bucks for some clothes is a bit much. Spend money how you want but swtor has some high priced digital things and EA has been known to be more than greedy.
Three, that also brings me to the F2P model. It's a pretty bad model as F2P goes and has been discussed a good bit but I could see it changing in two years as EA loses that license and makes adjustments to harder push people into paying. Maybe even something completely different.
Then it content that comes at an already slow pace combined with being really small expansions. Do you think EA is going to dump more into bioware for swtor if they are making less profit? I don't and I don't see swtor making more profit than it has been in the last while.
There really are a number of reason I think this move could effect swtor. Nothing happening very fast as 2023 is a ways off but I also wouldn't be surprised at what EA might change in swtor once that license is gone.
