Reply To: Star Wars Armada is dead …… Sort of …..so what about X-wing and Legion ?

“We are excited to continue support for Star Wars Armada” is corporate lingo for : we’re excited to get free money for little effort by telling you lot that we will be supporing it while we wait for the right time to take ol’ yeller out of the back door and shoot him while you’re distracted.

I think Armada didn’t perform as well as FFG/AMG wanted it to.
And they’re using the transition from FFG to AMG to re-evaluate the system.
They’re not going to tell you that they’re going to kill it, because that would make it impossible to shift what stock (and production orders) they still are under contract to produce and sell

Remember : production is planned months in advance … and it’s not like you can simply cancel a production order.
Well you can, but there’s bound to be a clause stating that there’s a cost …

I suspect that Crisis protocol is getting all the love and care, because that stuff is selling .. Legion probably is safe for the same reason. Xwing had a bit of a dip as a result of the v2 release, which may have been big enough for the bean counters to re-evaluate its existence. Armada ? I’m not sure if it ever was popular …so they might be on thin ice.
