why?

Because more than likely you won't be using any of the new features added to C++14. (Except for the compiler changes)
It's not like it's some completely new language or anything, C++ is completely backwards compatible.
Basically just say you're using C++ and use things from whatever version you want, only then can you for sure say if you need C++14 to compile or not.

It's not like it produces any slower a program to use a C++14 compiler to compile older C++ than it is to use an older compiler to compile the same code. Actually, I would assume that they are making casual optimizations to various parts of the compiler as they go about developing it.

A C++14 compiler will definitely produce a faster program, but to say "using C++14" is silly.

Even if you did mine, doing it on a normal computer is terrible. You'd want to buy some ASIC chips

eh, I just went with the latest version so I'd have the most stuff available

If you don't know what's added, then you're probably not using it, just sayin'

What things from C++14 are you actually going to use?

I have coding classes at my school, but they teach everything but Torquesript. They may do the same to you.

I'd be stupefied if a school did teach Torquescript

I don't know what the files that actually got released are, but the porting to PC part seems improbable unless like uncompiled source is in there.
But idk the pipeline from XNA to Xbox

I'd rather Battlefront died with Battlefront 2 then have the monstrosity we have today

I'm sure you'd be a great businessman.

Disney owns Lucasarts/Lucasfilm and are the reason EA can make Star Wars games

Are they the reason why Battlefront 3 was cancelled though?
Nope, LucasArts cancelled it; you just have a hard-on for hating Disney I guess.
