And then EA announced yesterday that Star Wars: The Old Republic was going to be microtransaction based. Or maybe they didn’t.
There were both positive and negative reactions to this.
My own thought was, “Does that make it ‘Battlefield Heroes‘ in space? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
So summing up, my reaction to SOE’s RMT announcement was, “Meh.”
My reaction to this retracted announcement merely dropped a letter and came up as, “Eh?”
I need more information to decide if it is a good thing or a bad thing. We know little to nothing about the actual game yet.

Bluntly, the only way they are getting my money for SWTOR is if they go with a Guild Wars model or a microtransaction or dual currency model, akin to Puzzle Pirates. I will not support a subscription game, no matter how amazing it is.
