Why not?

I personally find the prostituting of the Star Wars license to just about anybody who will pay a cheap move but hey what do I know? :)

STAR WARS is a business, I'm not sure how licensing it for products is prostituting but what do I know.. ;)

Hey Dan, if Christianity© can license Jesus for sale, why would you begrudge George from making some money?

Did the pigs shoot first?

For the record I think Angry Birds is a dumb game...

I guess from a business sense, there is nothing wrong with this. From my perspective, its just one more reason not to buy this game. Attaching Star Wars to a videogame title =/= a quality experience. So if Rovio Mobile wants to be attached to Star Wars, that's their choice. But companies in recent memory that have done so have not had successful games and it actually helped kill at least one company.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will enjoy the game in this iteration, why deny them? As far as how attaching STAR WARS to a video game title is a =/= experience, that's your opinion. I have an idea for you...don't but it. There all better. :)

BORING............. I'm afraid the days when i get excited to read the words Star Wars has long gone.

I won't be, I haven't bought an iOS app for a long time now and this won't change anything. I'm nonplussed about this news more than anything.... People will buy anything Star Wars and that's their choice. And this is especially true on iOS so....yeah. Whatever.

Meds · October 08, 2012, 02:20:23 PM

Saying that I still like my lightsaber app :)

Meds....Brisksaber! Try that one. Too cool. Unless of course you think attaching the STAR WARS name to a game is a =/= experience and feel you should boycott it! :)

So Tim, just curious. How the HECK did you become such a hater on all things "big business" in your young life? You really do tend to be a bummer on a lot of stuff...
