I feel awful for those being laid off, but honestly this was inevitably coming for SWTOR sooner or later. I’m just thankful they aren’t outright shutting it down. My personal experience of the game is that it was never a great MMO, but it’s an excellent single player game with occasional multiplayer interaction. I’ve gone back multiple times just to replay the numerous single player storylines.

Yeah we already went through this exact thing with Masto and Twitter. The complaining about defed is particularly annoying to me, like… defederation is a feature of the fediverse, not a bug, lol… Hopefully the “this doesn’t work exactly like MyFavoriteSite” folks will clear out eventually like the last wave.

Can’t believe we’re coming up on the 11th anniversary soon. This has always been my favorite MMO.

I hope that newcomers to the fediverse come to understand that defederation is a feature, not a bug.

Trusting this thing would always be a bad idea.

I’m about to the point where I’m just going to go back to pirating. The value of streaming services was in their convenience. I was willing to pay money for that, but the more fragmented and complicated all of it gets, when I can just pay for 1 VPN and go to a site and click a few links…
