The Tragedy of Star Wars: The Old Republic (Death of an MMO | SWTOR)

Star Wars: The Old Republic, or SWTOR for short, was the biggest budget video game of its day. With a production cost that soared into the hundreds of millions, this new MMORPG was meant to change everything in the online game universe, dethroning the King of MMOs, World of Warcraft, once and for all. However, rather than releasing to a massive success, this game quickly sunk and burned, despite all the years that went into its development. Why though?

In this video, we are taking a trip to a galaxy far far away to learn what happened to SWTOR and why the game ultimately failed to meet player's expectations. We will cover not only the game's history, but it's difficult launch and slow decline over the years as well. Join us into this journey as we explore the death of another MMORPG - Star Wars: The Old Republic from Bioware.
