美服《星球大战：旧共和国》 花费超一亿刀

众所周知EA和BioWare开发的星球大战：旧共和国是个巨大的吸钱机器，但是究竟游戏花费了多少刀呢? 曾经在BioWare公司工作的员工称游戏耗资3亿刀，不过这个数字显然夸大了。现在有更精确的计算，EA公司在游戏开发上花费达8千万刀，并打算在游戏市场分析上出资2千万刀。

游戏已经开发了4年时间，启用了大概200个开发人员，我们估计EA在游戏开发上的投资已经超过了8千万刀。但是我们相信SWTOR(星球大战：旧共和国)很快就会盈利，游戏潜力巨大，预计会有大量的订阅者。根据之前的报道，大概有150万人表示对游戏感兴趣。

EA从去年游戏的各种情况综合来看，认为游戏会在2011年下半年的某个时间发布，但是传言游戏会因为各种外界可能性推迟到2012年开端或者更晚的时间发布。欧洲玩家表明他们已经收到BioWare的信件，通知他们游戏即将在EU公测。
 

The Old Republic Costs $80 Million on Development and $20 Million on Marketing - Analyst

We all know that EA and BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic is a money-sucking machine, but how much does the game cost? There's an ex-BioWare staff who claims that the game costs $300 million and it seems that it's not a accurate number. Now Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter estimates that the game swallows EA $80 Million in the development section and will take another $20 million for manufacturing, marketing and distribution.

Given that the game was in development for over four years, with an estimated 200 full-time developers working on it, we estimate that EA’s investment exceeds $80 million.However, Michael Pachter believes that SWTOR can take the money back quickly with its estimatedly large number of subscribers. According to the previous report, there are around 1.5 million people who have shown their interest in testing the game.

Although EA's earning prediction for the past fiscal year shows that SWTOR will be released sometime in the second half of 2011, there's rumor that the game could be delayed to early 2012 even later due to "outside possibility". However there are gamers from Europe declare that they've received BioWare's letters, telling them the test will begin soon in EU.
