    Disney: Yes there is a lot of demand for this game but the reality is it was made in a different era in gaming. There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.

      Also Disney: Sorry, money-cows fans, but we do not understand what is this “quality” thing you speak of. Our panel of highly skilled market analysts fail to identify any correlation between it and higher profits, so we ignore it.

      There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.

      The irony is that they already have a game that allows for all that predatory shit, The Old Republic MMORPG.
