Going back to that one thread about Wal-Mart and how the starter kit was discontinued and there's a new sku set to release in the end of June.
This is interesting

    If that had any truth to it we would be in some serious deep shit. Also every game designer in the world would be a dumbass.

    That point may be argued.

    'Publisher sales reps inform Wal-Mart buyers of games in development; the games' subjects, titles, artwork and packaging are vetted and sometimes vetoed by Wal-Mart. If Wal-Mart tells a top-end publisher it won't carry a certain game, the publisher kills that game. In short, every triple-A game sold at retail in North America is managed start to finish, top to bottom, with the publisher's gaze fixed squarely on Wal-Mart, and no other.'"

    /cheesy Vader voice NOOOOOOO!

    I hate Wal-Mart, even more than the NGE, and thats saying a lot. Wal-Mart = the suck

    Oh well. Fortunately, the big gaming markets are in Asia.

    Wal-mart says they won't carry your game. Fine. Lose those 500k copies, market it in Asia, sell 5 mil copies. Who cares.

    And I'm somewhat serious. Asian markets are the money makers of the future. MMOs in those regions top 10 mil subscribers regularly, even 50 is not an uncommon number. Consoles, arcades, free-download games, that's where the game business future lies.

    There is reason to fear... Wal-Mart has already been opening stores over there...

    it does not mean anything The start it Kit still good in the game phase now when is going to be over, we dont know that part. The fact is that SWG is going deeper and deeper into a black hole and no where to go THe imp Scpace staion close the Kessel doors for the Dev. Obviusly they dont know what to do to save the game
