LucasArts unveils Star Wars game for grown-ups

Sounds like...

They have tried to lift a version of the BH storyline which is so epic from SWTOR and make it into it's own game...

We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

Re: Pre-Alpha is the 'it compiles, ship it' stage.

I thought the 'it compiles, ship it' stage was just known as Final Release, well.. certainly in some software houses i've come across...

Jumpin' Meerkats! Ubuntu moving to daily downloads?

Sounds a bit like M$

"We're releasing every day so if it doesn't work we can just fix it tomorrow...." - sounds like the release system used by everyone's 'favorite' OS manufacturer.

Isn't the idea to enhance the user experience, not wind them up so they don't want to use your product anymore?

It's all very well expecting Tecchies to come back on another browser, but most standard users I know barely know what a browser is.

All they know is that they connect to the internet using the icon on the desktop.

At the end of the day if I want customers to use my website, I need to make it accessible to THEM, not me.
