Does he cite a source for this bit? It sounds to me more like he got his wires crossed and extrapolated from unrelated data. SWG started development in 2000 when EA was actively developing their own WC MMOs. SWG ended up scooping up a lot of the ex Origin team that worked on WC Prophecy and they are primarily responsible for the Spaceflight upgrade (Jump to light speed?). But I don't think that SWG was ever supposed to be a WC title. Also this is space MMO from Sony, the everquest guys, and not EA who are the ones who had several of their own WC online and Privateer Online attempts.Star Wars: Galaxies was originally going to be a Wing Commander game?!
