Since 2013 Electronic Arts owns the rights to games in the universe "Star Wars", However, over all this time, the company released only two major games – Star Wars Battlefront And her sequel. Now the possible reason for the cool relations of the publishing house with a distant-distant galaxy-the general director has been revealed EA not very glad that companies need to create new games on "ZV".
This was written by Kotaku editor www.slotuna.co.uk Jason Schreyer (Jason Schreier), who literally announced this morning about the abolition of the next project EA In the universe "Star Wars". According to him, the current leader of the company Andrew Wilson (Andrew Wilson) is dissatisfied with the deal with Disney, which was concluded by his predecessor Frank GIBO (Frank Gibeau).
This information Schreyer, According to him, he constantly hears from employees EA. However, the representative of the company he turned to, denied everything and called this information a pure speculation.
As notes Schreyer, This may be due to current policy EA. After entering Wilson The company began to focus on its own franchises like Titanfall, Battlefield And coming Anthem, as well as in a sports unit – for example, thanks to a series FIFA The publishing house receives an impressive part of the profit.
It looks like a franchise "Star Wars" In the hands EA becomes a victim exclusively commercial orientation of the current leadership. In support of this, one can cite the fact that when Wilson EA I emphasized the Frostbite engine, which the company uses in almost all its games – it doesn’t matter if it is suitable for them or not. The reason for this is simple: EA does not want to pay for a license for someone else’s engine.
