I cancelled my SWG after the CU not becuase of the CU itself, but becuase of SOE's treatment of the community and the fact that they expected me, a paying customer, to conduct their beta testing. I played SWG for a little over a year before the CU and loved it despite the bugs. But when I'm paying to play a game I expect the developers to properly test for and correct problems in the code as well as gameplay mechanics. If I wanted to be a beta tester I would've joined that part of the community. Dev's, regardless of the company, should not push an unfinished product on their consumers.
The other thing that bothered me was SOE's almost flippant dismissal of complaints regarding the change.

I can respect your reasons for leaving. I have issue with what they consider acceptable code state myself. If I wasn't getting it on the Station Pass I would probably be in your shoes as well or never of started playing it since that was one the biggest reasons I never bought it before it went to station pass.
