SWINE FLU wrote:EA said that there will be no new SW games until 2014.
IGN wrote:EA has confirmed that none of its Star Wars titles will be released before April 2014.
During a call reporting earnings for the 2013 fiscal year, EA executive chairman Larry Probst (sitting in until EA finds a new CEO) said none of the publisher’s Star Wars games are planned for EA’s 2014 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
Yesterday, EA acquired the exclusive license to Star Wars, announcing titles on the way from Battlefield developer DICE and Dead Space developer Visceral, as well as continued efforts from BioWare, who made Star Wars: The Old Republic.
At the time of the announcement, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau said “the new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay” and confirmed that they’ll be powered by "the Frostbite 3 development engine – guaranteeing incredible graphic fidelity, environments and characters."

I remember them from the time before they were a games company. At that time, they went by their full name "Electronic Arts". They wrote a paint program for the Amiga series of computers called "deluxe paint" and its where they made their name and fame in the beginning. They spread that program to the Windows world, made more money, and then transitioned into a gaming company. Give in to the Dark Side, they did.

I really don't like EA for their politics.They think that they can do anything with their customers on Origin and then they try to make customers come back with sells.Not good EA,not good :oldman:
