Re:Chickening out of the MMORPG market (Score 1)

the MMORPG market is pretty big, compared to... say... the market for FPSes or RTSes

That is just not true at all. MMORPG games have a loyal following, but I'd still qualify them as a niche market. The most popular PC games on the market right now are the action titles. Things like Unreal Tournament 2004, Thief 3, and the ever-present 'war sims'.

I'm not at all upset to see another MMORPG go down before it sees the light of day. "Pay for play" games should be extinct. Long live free online content!
