EA explains lack of campaign in Star Wars Battlefront

[owsf2000]

Over at PCGamer they have an article about the lack of a single player campaign in the latest Star Wars game. "In a recent investor broadcast, EA boss Patrick Soderlund said this was a conscious decision. They wanted to "launch the game side-by-side with the movie to get the strongest possible impact." That movie being, of course, The Force Awakens."

Translation: "We rushed it out half done knowing people would buy it anyway thanks to the movie."

So, aside from the movie connection or whatever, it's basically the exact same reason Capcom rushed out Street Fighter V without most of its modes.

Translation: "We rushed it out half done knowing people would buy it anyway thanks to the moviethanks to fighting game tournaments. (http://www.cinemablend.com/games/What-Capcom-Finally-Admitted-About-Street-Fighter-5-Rocky-Launch-137547.html)"

Also, it's EA. Par for the course for them.
