There has been a lot of controversy when it comes to
Star Wars games lately, namely those that have been strictly published by Electronic Arts. This mainly has to do with the fact that Electronic Arts really likes to push microtransactions down the throats of players, who are getting pretty tired of said practices.
When
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was finally revealed last week, players were defiitely excited for the new
Star Wars adventure, especially because the premise of the game is already quite appealing to fans of the series. The problem was that, while most people were excited to see this game being developed by Respawn Entertainment, there was a sheer amount of uncertainty due to the fact that EA is still the publisher.
A few days ago, Community Manager at Electronic Arts, Jay Ingram, encouraged fans on Twitter to ask questions about
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for him to answer.
One of the users on Twitter asked him how much of a presence does EA have in the making of the game, and whether the idea for it came from Electronic Arts or Respawn Entertainment, an Ingram said that
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is "
Respawn's vision. EA doesn't prescribe games to developers, just greenlights them."
This isn't to say that Electronic Arts won't have the last say when it comes to making decisions, but it is reassuring to know that this is Respawn's game and their vision hasn't been influenced by Electronic Arts, so we should expect Respawn to deliver a quality game like the ones they've delivered in the past.
