I feel awful for those being laid off, but honestly this was inevitably coming for SWTOR sooner or later. I'm just thankful they aren't outright shutting it down. My personal experience of the game is that it was never a great MMO, but it's an excellent single player game with occasional multiplayer interaction. I've gone back multiple times just to replay the numerous single player storylines.

My first read on this is to be pretty excited; the new dailies system looks interesting, more accessible skyscale will be good for newer players, etc.
