The deal won\u2019t close for at least another year and is subject to regulatory approval, which, in the current climate, I would be shocked if it doesn\u2019t get.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-6053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ea-spirit.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Wilson, Chairman &amp; CEO of Electronic Arts standing in front of a Spirit Halloween banner partially blocking the EA logo.\" width=\"560\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ea-spirit.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ea-spirit-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This blog is about fake space letters and robots and laser swords, and I\u2019ve always been very careful about commenting about things outside my areas of expertise. This topic is so far outside my bailiwick that it would be irresponsible if I did not choose my words carefully.<\/p>\n<p>But it sucks, right? We all know it. We\u2019ve all seen how it goes when private equity takes over a company and saddles it with massive debt. In this case, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/jasonschreier.bsky.social\/post\/3lzy2ieztws2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EA will be taking on 20 billion dollars in debt<\/a>, an amount that defies casual understanding. Will EA end up shuttered like Toys R Us or Joann\u2019s? I don\u2019t know. The release statement breathlessly assures us that the deal will accelerate innovation and growth before laughably walking back those claims because \u201cforward-looking statements \u2026 are subject to change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t need a business degree to see what comes after the deal closes, because we\u2019ve seen it before, most recently with Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of Activision\/Blizzard. That 20 billion needs to come from somewhere, and it certainly won\u2019t be coming from the rich assholes lining their pockets from this deal. Studios will be shuttered and thousands of people will lose their jobs. Expenses will be slashed and customers squeezed even more; and it\u2019s not like EA had a good reputation in those areas to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>The question of how this will affect <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>&#8216;s story and content concerns me less than the human cost. My hope is that since Disney owns <em><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> and Broadsword is separate from EA, the team and the game will be somewhat insulated from the storm, but I have no way of knowing. Hope is a tough currency to come by these days and a harder one to spend.<\/p>\n<p>However, my understanding is that <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> is doing well. The critical success of <em><strong>Andor<\/strong><\/em> and the fact <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> received attention at Star Wars Celebration have increased interest in the game. With the end to the Voice Actors\u2019 strike, <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s main story will resume throughout at least the next two game updates at the end of this year and into the next. In 2026 we\u2019ll also see the first new <em><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> movie in years, and that hype cycle should also help <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>. I have to think that EA has no reason to mess with a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I do know. Over the nine years I\u2019ve been writing this blog, I\u2019ve been very fortunate to meet and interact with some of the people who make this game that I love. They have been without exception dedicated to making <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> the best game it can be. Making video games is hard work. It\u2019s finicky and often thankless, but everything I\u2019ve heard on and off the record about <strong><em>SWTOR<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s developers over the years makes me proud to be a small part of the game\u2019s community.<\/p>\n<p>Will that change in the days ahead? Possibly. We should all keep a weather eye on the sky. It has never been my place to tell anyone how to spend their money. We should put it where we think it will do the most good in our lives. That has always been my plan, and that will not change.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the ninth anniversary of This Week in Aurebesh, and my plans to
