Its like everything in the MMO universe was subtly re-arranged but, amazingly, ended up being exactly the same as it always was.
Vexation! |
Why be vexed? Basically proves that Brad, as I called him many times before, was nothing but a used car salesman. He lacked the ability to read the market. Tried creating a game from scratch on his own, with ideas most didn't like. Milked MS along until they finally said enough squandering of their money. Was fortunate SOE stepped in to help bail his ass out. His credibility with the gaming public is pretty much nil. Presumably with Brad out of the decision making process with the takeover, the game may actually start to come into focus and actually maintain a niche.
