MODERATORS
As much as I enjoy the series, they need to move away from UE or put a lot more work into optimising their games.
Fallen Order still suffers from traversal stutter and they've somehow made it worse in Survivor. They need to fix their current games before expressing interest in making new ones.
That’s not how capitalism works. You already bought the product, they have your money. You even spent enough time on the game to have an opinion on it, so it’s a win for their engagement metrics as well.
Why invest in fixing a product you have already been paid for if there is no legal obligation to do so, and you can alternatively make another product and get paid again? Star Wars games always sell enough to make them net profits.
I understand and almost completely agree with what you're saying, but there are plenty of developers out there that provide meaningful improvements to their games even after they have your money. For some, it's a labour of love and also a matter of reputation.
This is EA, however, so your point completely stands.
There's an important distinction between devs and the executive side of publishing. I can promise you that the Jedi devs absolutely love the game they're making.
