Don't know about you, but for me Amazon is redirecting that Play & Charge Kit link to a Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam, with CNET as a referrer. The link from the button seems to direct where it is supposed to, so this isn't on Gamespot, it's on Amazon. Weird move.

@Atzenkiller: Well, it says on Wikipedia how big a game was swtor: "Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million or more, making it, at the time, the most expensive video game ever made, though if marketing costs are included, it is eclipsed by Grand Theft Auto V, with an estimated cost of $265 million."

So, unless it has a budget of over $200 million... no, it is not the biggest BioWare game ever.

Also, they didn't stated "biggest BioWare game of those that are not always growing"; they said "biggest BioWare game".

@Shilleto: So? That's not a point. Did they say "biggest BioWare game ever built in less than 8 years"? No, they said "biggest BioWare game ever". Last time I checked, there's a BioWare logo on that Star Wars MMO, so... no. It's just marketing acting stupid again.

@infiniin:

RPG - role playing GAME.

MMORPG - massive multiplayer online role playing GAME.

The Gs in those acronyms stand for GAME, they are both GAMES. It's not like one is a GAME while the other is, dunno... a MOVIE.

Mass Effect: Andromeda "Biggest" BioWare GAME Ever, Says Dev

We're not debating that they're different games, from different genres here. That is known.

It's like ello432 said, they should've been more specific. However... silly marketing.

This would be a bad move for any console (no matter which one). Because faced with the question "why upgrade your console every 2 or 3 years and not your PC?", I would be very, very hard pressed to find a solid reason in answer to that question, no matter how hard I'd want to.

And why would I want that, anyway? With the same upgrade cycles on both sides, console exclusives being what they are (more like a nice bonus than the reason d'etre for the platform), I'd be forced to remind myself really quickly that even with equal prices per game (hint: they're not), the PC still has exclusive genres, best sold titles ever, free multiplayer and a backlog catalog and compatibility with anything one could ever want since PONG was first released.

Since multiplatform titles ALWAYS look and perform better on a mid-budget PC than on any console and the sole advantage for the consoles being a long life span... Why would you do that? Besides... I'd really, really want to hear how Sony would try to convince anyone who just purchased a brand new PS4 (a top selling console, if marketing sales numbers are to be believed) this last months for 350 USD, that they need to suck it up and pay up some more for their games to run properly.... How could they explain it to those people?

No. This is a bad idea, no matter how you look at it.

@Hurvl: Bear with me for a moment: the developer needs to get his bearing straight.
