The Hero Engine is not a bad engine. EA just destroys everything it touches these days. Also, the Hero Engine was not complete when EA used it, which was also then heavily modified by them.

While I don't know the future success of ESO. The Hero Engine will not be an issue due to it being in a solid state(It's also been upgraded recently).

In short: EA is a company that destroys everything it touches. Blame them for SWTOR failure, not the Engine.
