The New York Post has a transplant from CBS. You may recall William Vitka as the gent who wrote the CBS mailbag hate-fest on SWG in early 2006. He’s now posting at the Post, and has his own regular blog column there. He’s apparently been recontacted by players about the post, which led into some more discussions with Smedley about the state of SWG. Apparently some players claimed that SOE thought that the players were part of a vast conspiracy, which is a chain of insanity I not only can’t buy, Smed dismisses it right away. I know that they know that there are problems, and I don’t for a second believe they’re sitting over there blaming SWG’s problems on Mythic or NCSoft.

Just the same, it is interesting to see the topic of SWG come up again in a public forum. It’s kinda been absent from the limelight for a while, huh? Vitka’s parting comment is something I wholeheartedly agree with: “My question is: where does LucasArts fit in to all of this? I’ve tried to get them to comment before, but with no luck.”

If LucasArts has said two words about that game in the last year I’d be mighty surprised. C’mon SF folks … inquiring minds want to know!
