| The soap opera that is the MMORPG genre has become a monument to wasted potential, and SoE built the foundation. I don't blame Brad. He had employees to pay, so selling out to SoE was more a question of letting his employees' children eat. I don't blame SoE. They're a vampiric corporation that lets its victims live just long enough to come back and drain a trickle more for a while, but you can't blame a leech for being a leech, especially if it's really good at leeching. You can't blame the fans. Ever.
I blame Microsoft. Their greed drove them to try and force VG to be a Vista only title, and if it weren't for that, the game would only just now be hitting open beta. And I blame brown. I blame it too much. |
