At the end of Darrah's video, he starts to give a soft pitch for how could live on and maybe even see a bit of that fabled No Man's Sky redemption arc that BioWare was hoping for when it announced it was revamping the game in 2019. He says that his idea would "conservatively" run EA about $10 million, and if that should sell more than 400,000 copies, it could actually work out for everyone involved.
But while I was excited as both a Star Wars fan and an RPG fan, I couldn't help but mourn the developer that was once the genre's industry leader. Fate of the Old Republic doesn't just mark the beginning of a new chapter for Star Wars video games; it feels like the definitive closing of the book on the old BioWare.
