It's a shame, but still poor, poor planning on Curt's part. How successful are new IP MMO's? If he is such a fan of the style of game then he should have done his research.
I recently finshed KoA and enjoyed the game (took 80 hours to finish the story and majority of the side quests). It sold well over a million copies since Feb when it was release, which is a pretty good number for a relatively new company and a new game. But that still isn't enough time to build up the customer support an MMO needs. Instead of focusing on an MMO he should have looked aty maybe trimming his staff and developing a sequal, which would drum up more hype for the world and then maybe be able to finance an MMO. He can ***** all he wants but he didn't read the market well.
It is a shame though. Despite not wanting to play MMO's anymore (well aside from guild wars 2, but that is for the pvp)I might have given this one a try. There was just enough different from the staple fantasy genre to make it interesting enough.

Sigh, 38 Studios impolsion makes me very happy.John Funk said:
This happened because of their collective ego (example; thinking they were actually good enough to make it in the hardest market out there) and making one incredibly mediocore game (which sold better than it should I add). Since it has begun, they've pointed the finger at other people for why they have collapsed and keep talking about how great their work was (when it really isn't).
Few studios deserve to collapse more.
Kingdoms of Amalur was pretty much single player World of Warcraft in both it's aesthetics and gameplay. Nothing these guys do is original.TsunamiWombat said:
