Now before you bash that statement, that is not an attack towards the developers it has more to do with the players. Swtor was decent but since it wasn't as polished as an mmo that's been out 8 years (surprising since most people say they "hate" wow yet always compare other mmo's to it) it got a huge backlash from players, lost a ton, had to go f2p to make it up.
Oh and those saying "well they broke even" umm... that's not a goal a company should EVER strive for. "yea guys we spent 5 years making this game, supposedly 200 mil and now we broke even, okay lets go f2p!!!"
