Actually, as I understand it, a big part of the problem is that it's not KOTOR 3. Choosing to follow the - unfinished - series with a MMO instead of a true sequel seems to have alienated a large part of their playerbase.

That's what I mean when I say that a ME MMO wouldn't have quite the same problems - the trilogy is done, and while there are people out there who want a ME4 there's at least as many who don't.
