Don’t have your pre-order copy of SWTOR yet? Are you worried about not being able to get a copy due to the shortage fears that have been going around? Well, you might not need to worry so much after all. While it’s true that EA said they would be rationing/limiting the sale of the game, they have reassured gamers that they are set on a very ambitious launch.
“We’re using our beta test to inform us of what scale that we can handle. Our pre-order campaign is tailored towards how we’re going to do that.” EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau told investors.
“We’re looking at a rollout plan that is fairly ambitious. We don’t feel like we’re going to be leading too much demand behind at launch but we definitely are going to be very cautious and thoughtful about how many people we bring on and in what order,” he added.
Basically what BioWare/EA seem to be hinting at is that while they want to control the launch experience for loyal customers, they also plan for a substantial launch. They are not putting any numbers on just what they classify as “substantial” but are giving the impression to the rest of us that there will be plenty of SWTOR to go around for everyone.
So what do you think- gonna take the chance and ask for SWTOR for Christmas or already pre-ordered yours now to make sure you don’t miss out?
