Star Wars Galaxies bites the big one.  Even allowing for bitterness, there is so much discussion about a dead (or if not, we all would love to throttle it to death) game.   Sony will not recieve another dime from me.  Sorry, I can wait for anyone else to produce something rather than give them another dime.  You suck donkey dongs Sony.

You can't completely blame SOE here. I am NOT an apologist for SOE, I think they have done a poor job dealing with their customers since 2003, and I think they set in motion the destruction of the game on December 24, 2003 when they handed out those damned holocrons.

Blame Lucasarts for pushing the NGE. And blame the marriage of LA and SOE for continuing to make sure this game is nothing but a broken mess.

Yes, you can blame $OE for the horrible gameplay and the bugs. They coded the whole thing, not LA. LA was giving creative input.

I have to agree, as much as I HATE what I see SOE doing, what we see is only the tip of the iceburg. It's the strangest thing too, because SOE has proven that they can design a great MMORPG and run it well. LA has proven they can produce some of the best games on the market. But somehow when you smush them both together they go sour. Kinda like "I like pizza, and I like ice cream, but pizza flavored ice cream?" At this point I think we have the rare privlege of being able to point fingers directly at particular people. Personally, I think the regular "at the grind" devs are doing their very best with the situation forced upon them. We need to be placing blame on Producers, Directors, and the Marketing department. These are the people that keep making these massive design decisions.

Heh, and guess who approved it and slapped a due date on it to be out by?  Yes, your good friends at LA.
