Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Team Swelled to 570 Personnel

[News Portal]

Clearly, [app=4600]Star Wars: The Old Republic[/app] was a massive undertaking. By all accounts it was too, with production director Dallas Dickinson and executive producer Rich Vogel revealing that, at one time, the development team was 570-people strong. It included 30 producers, 40 “platform engineers,” 75 designers, 140 artists, and 280 “quality assurance” producers. Pretty sure the latter weren’t assigned to the PvP portion of the game, amirite? Hyuk hyuk.

You are getting off topic. Where is my banana cake?

EDIT: Its good they have more people now to fix some issues and make new content but I expect as soon as the demand is met some of these people will be laid off. The employees success is riding on how long SWTOR can keep its subscribers, I will be playing it for at least another few months. Once people begin finishing their characters storylines the subscribers will decline from there on. The longevity of this MMO may not be that long. Cant wait for the next patch.

EA has always been laying down. Time for some good ol' fashion layoffs! Unless you meant smackdowns, then that's is also appropriate.
