Pretty sure IGN never actually said battlefront was "Everything I ever wanted in a Star Wars game"

If a developer ever puts a quote from IGN on their gamebox or trailer, it's a bad sign.

If the publisher is legally allowed to do that, it's a bad sign.

They gave battlefront an 8/10 which is BS but they did at least point out the lack of content.
So they aren't completely shilling.

An 8/10 is still too high for Battlefront. It deserves no higher than a 4/10.

That's for the sound and graphical design.

I hate to tell you but the publisher has pretty much 100% control over what's on the cover of a game

Not in some cases.

Publishers should only provide money when studios need it -- they shouldn't be making any other decisions.

That's what publishers are supposed to be. Publishers provide the money a studio wouldn't be able to make on its own to help with marketing and development.

Publishers are the reason we have shitty games. If devs were allowed full creative control, I wouldn't be so pessimistic about the industry today.

But these CEOs realise they can turn a bigger profit by focusing on marketing instead of development.
