Well, the early 2000's were a time when the franchise wasn't creatively bankrupt because Legends was always pushing the boundaries for new stories, content, games, etc. So since DISNEY retconned Legends and it's been years since they fumbled the sequels and having started stealing fan art for Star Wars ships to put in the new comics, I'd say... NEVER.

Definitely never gonna happen again. All we can do is keep our golden age even if we have to buy it back again from retro game stores. It's ridiculous that gaming companies always resort to release now, fix later and anything to do with multiplayer and remastering classics resort to only making money for doing less than before. I'd say star wars games died when Disney bought the franchise even though we have very few like the Jedi series. Still would like to get good star wars games again, even if they are based off the legends stories or even Canon like any of the comics.

@@austinkamp8048 It's also the fact that due to game dev hiring practices, no one can sit in a job long enough to become a 'master' in their field, thus we end up with games built by an endless swarm of middling talents. I still remember hearing about the Gen 2 Pokemon games running into space issues during development, only for Satoru Iwata himself to show up and optimize the hell out of the code. The actual effects of said optimization have been claimed to be either allowing Kanto to be re-added to the game, or over doubling the load speed of sprites from around 100 frames, to 42. Either way, the experience was greatly enhanced because someone who knew what they were doing got involved. So when I hear that a PS2 era game is being remastered, only to find the file size has ballooned to nearly 10x the original file-size... well, that screams to me that the developers are either completely incompetent, they've packaged some form of malicious software with the game, or they simply don't understand the concept of optimization and I don't want their buggy mess on my machine. That's without getting into the actual gameplay and stability of the multiplayer servers, or the allegations that EA has stolen code from a modder.

The only effort theyd need to put in is deciding what era to set the story, and not try to have it connect or tie into the main films.

It is possible that a legal case could be made that properitary code that doesn't relate directly to LucasArt assets doesn't automatically belong to whoever currently owns the IP (I'm guessing Disney). Needless to say, Aspyr would win that case but they'd probably not rather spend the money having to do it.

And this is why I always wait a few weeks before I buy games especially games I know they're trying to remaster and then sell back to us. I have the old version still on my Xbox and I even have the Battlefront 2 from EA and at this point I might as well just play the EA version because at least a server still work there's still some people and I can still play the f****** game without lagging and issues and if I want to play the old version then I could just play the old version. Because if they're not going to be adding multiplayer Conquest then what's the whole f****** point because the only reason why I wanted to play this in modern time was for the multiplayer Conquest and have Galactic Space Battles while on the planet there is Major fire fights but no they're not f****** giving us that so at this point it's not even worth it

Honestly 4 years later makes a Ton of sense. It wasn't just video games it was Everything. They told the truth but in order to fix the fuck up that was covid they started pushing everyone to work harder which in turn churned out total garbage ports and bad video games all around and then with the Nonsense wokeness bullshit behind the wheel it made ok games even Worse. There are alot of contributing factors as to why everything is so behind in the Next generation of games.

I remember reading through the legal agreement for BF classic collection that you have to agree with before starting the game saying that all mods are legally allowed to be used for the game or something like that. So basically Aspyre thought ahead so they could steal other people's mods and say they legally own them anyways. I might be wrong, so if I am please let me know.

I doubt such a thing will stand in court. From what I've seen, when it comes to such things, eulas are validated for lawfulness and sections are rendered invalid and not under consideration for the lawsuit, if they are found unlawful in some cases(from the cases I've researched, things like "I retain ownership of everything you do with my stuff" tend to be striken out, even if they are not relevant to the case). Mods are a legal nightmare, because things like custom models, textures, sounds and etc(that aren't built on original stuff, that got expanded/upgraded) tend to belong to their creators, with the rest of the mod being usually another massive gray area. 99% of the eulas out there are technically illegal as they break both eu and us rules and regulations in multiple sections. Bethesda quickly learned their lesson with the whole "paid mods" v1, via the steam workshop and even altered their EULAs to expressly push ownership to the modders, because of what legal nightmare it is.
@monthis_lives

@@Arithial I doubt they'd bother with the EULA. If EA took this to court they probably go after copyright infringement since mods are a derivative work. Sure, when you make something you're granted a copyright but if the infringement is granted that the will nullify the copyright. And from there EA could then take ownership since it is a derivative of the original. But I doubt that would happen unless they wanted to make an example of someone as they mods are drumming up sales of the original product.

It's true that modders can't sell their mods commercially or anything, but it's not true that developers/publishers automatically own mods and can use them however they want.

Just want to weigh in on the "Disney owns fan projects" conversation. This is a misconception. While Disney owns the trademarks for the star wars brand and copyrights for games, movies, stories, and characters they created or licensed, they do NOT own fan projects. Explaining this goes beyond the scope of a simple youtube comment, but basically, they do not have the right to sease things like the code for mods, fan made assets, est. This is why studios like disney and nintendo shut down fan projects instead of taking them over. If Aspyr used code or assets from a moder without permission, they could absolutely get sued. I really hope that doesn't happen, though. If mods can cause legal trouble, I think studios would respond by taking down fan projects even more aggressively than they already do

Here's the thing: why do we "need" to buy new versions of products we have bought in the past? Because they don't work anymore?!? Think about it - what a bad reason to support this! Shouldn't there be an accountability that products will continue to work? I know that I may be in the minority expecting something that I purchase actually work out of the box (so to speak; not that anything is in a box anymore - it's just a digital download) AND be in perfect working condition for many years - perhaps even into perpetuity. It just goes to show how groomed we are that software isn't in any way 'owned' by one who purchases it (as we have been forced to go to the license model and paying a monthly fee in a lot of cases just to use a product that they intentionally cripple with updates so that you have to buy the latest version). Now I know that is more a commentary on the whole software industry rather than this specific game, but honestly, if you have the games already and enjoy modifying them etc, why buy any remake? Shouldn't said remakes be free to those owners? Finally, don't get me started on who actually 'owns' Star Wars and how that company has totally disrespected anything that has come before; not to mention their reprehensible grooming tactics of innocents. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. I think as fans, we are going to have to be happy with what we have already, and actively boycott all of the garbage that is being put out these days. Let those whose ears are open, hear!

I think you're wrong about one point you made, companies don't own fan works unless submitted to a platform or publishing deal owned by the copyrights holder by the author. Like if Disney hosted a website for authors to upload fanfic and Disney stated that by uploading you gave them all rights to your creation. Even though mods use assets not owned by the creator of the mod, that just means they're no allowed to sell it. If a company steals your work and uses it in their product, it's still stealing even if what you made was some type of fan creation.

Work is still work, even if you make something built on top of someone else's work, what you did is still yours. You might not be able to profit off of it since it requires the original, but neither can the owner of the IP. If they want to use it, they need to get your permission. What this tends to boil down to is if the 2 parties fight, no one gets the additional work.
