This is what happens when you dont interfere with a good development team and do things that make sense like putting games on Steam.
When has EA said that SP games are dead? They don't offer the same revenue streams as MP games. That part of it is true.
EA never said that SP games are dead, NEVER.
They were always talking about LINEAR SINGLE PLAYER GAMES, here's the actual quote:
And this is the truth, the classic linear AAA SP game is not viable these day.
EA Says People Don't Really Enjoy Linear Games As Much Today
The new Star Wars game from Visceral was going to be more linear-focused until EA changed it significantly.

YEAAAAAHHH!!!!
Seriously, Respawn deserves it and sooo much more.
Now please don't become a Star Wars factory and make Titanfall 3 (^______^)

Good game
Star Wars license
Singleplayer
No bad word of mouth before release because it's full of Microtransactions
Coming to all PC storefronts and not just Origin
--> sells well
Shocking

You mean one launched with Fortnite skins promotion, the other did not.
I'm gonna take an educated guess and say the game likely sold far more on Steam and even Origin than on the EGS.

I didnt know Jedi Fallen Order was an open world game
While I'm happy to see this game succeed, and Respawn are a great developer who deserve success, I feel like they did console customers dirty with this game. It was simply not ready for launch and they rushed it out the door for those holiday sales.
Game was awesome. Can't wait to see what Respawn pulls off with their next Star Wars game on next gen hardware. My body is not ready.
Because a souls-like inspired game with planets and metroidvania elements that lasts for at least 15 hours is a linear game right?
Next time, use your brain, count to 10 and post a comments instead of trying to be funny.
Jedi Fallen Order is linear though. It's got a ton of optional side areas to explore, but overall it is absolutely a linear gameEA never said that SP games are dead, NEVER.

Jedi Fallen Order is not a linear and short A -> B game, this is what EA was referring when they killed Visceral SW game.
Are you going to tell me that Jedi Fallen Order structure is just like Dead Space? (since the main argument was Visceral SW title)
All hail multi-stores future. Am I right Sweeney?
It's actually available on EGS too.
Im in the beginning stages but this game just FEELS right. Its making me wish Respawn did a similar game and allowed us to play as Anakin.
I'm pretty sure that will come eventually now that everyone and their mother are talking about Mando.
Not sure what the length of a game has to do with linearity, but despite the game's souls and metroid elements, all of the game's main missions have to be completed in one specific order. Hence, it's linear. Iirc DS also had the player character returning to previously explored locations, just like JFO does
Yeah jedi fallen order is a linear story with a bit of flexibility but not of the "do these planets in any order" variety. And I got through it on console ok, but will look forward to performance patches.
There was an uproar over KOTOR and when it was released over its use of the 3rd edition d&d rules ("no thac0??? what????"), it seems no star wars game could escape controversy.
Glad to see the game selling well.

Steamspy shows the game at 1-2 million copies now, after two weeks. It crossed into 500k-1m territory after one week on Steam.
Can't say how accurate Steamspy is these days though.
Those are some weirdly specific accomplishments. Which mostly means it hasn't outsold Battlefront. I doubt they were expecting it to though. Given how well Battlefront 1 performed, it looks like Fallen Order still sold really well =)
So launch window sales are: Console Battlefront > Fallen Order > PC Battlefront
Means that when looking only at digital sales, Fallen Order climbs a spot:
Fallen Order > Console Battlefront> PC Battlefront
And that's really interesting imo. I would have thought Battlefront had a bigger digital presence, but then maybe it was a popular Christmas gift during launch window than Fallen Order? *shrug*

My GOTY and I am so so so so so happy to hear that it's perform so well. Praying this means more from Respawn with more money and time to throw at it.
Absolutely fantastic news. Hopefully a single player, story driven, challenging, non-casual game with no microtransactions selling this well is a clear sign for EA on the direction they should go moving forward.
That guy in the OT that kept yelling "THIS IS THE END OF RESPAWN, THEY WILL NEVER COME BACK FROM THIS" and when pressed for clarification basically only said "I think the game is very bad so thats why it will fail sales wise! RESPAWN IS DOOOOMED" will probably feel really dumb now :)
Very happy for respawn, they are doing some great work this gen and when they were bought by EA I can't say i wasn't worried.
