Old Republic was supposed to be a single player game anyway, making it into an MMO was a mistake in itself; Trying to monkey off of WoW was another as many tried to do that in the past and failed because WoW in itself isn't that great a game, it's mainly still alive because people have friends and characters they've been attached to for 8 years. If we don't count all those and pretend they all leave to do something better with their spare time, WoW would probably not have as much as 2 million people playing. Which is why any attempt at copying it fails. It's a very outdated game and there's very little that can redeem that formula. So yes, I do feel ripped off - not because it went free but because it went MMO to begin with.
It's a bit sad that steam seems to be the only driving force behind PC gaming aside from Minecraft and a few other very niche projects (most of which migrate to consoles too); Good to see it coming over to Linux & mac though.
Gonna go for new vegas as well. F3 was a nice revival of the series, New Vegas nailed it with the new engine and a half-return to the previously established style of F1 / F2.
