Horrible article, full of spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes (it's really a pain to read), moreover the writer wannabe knows very little about sleeping dogs, by his own admission.
"hand combat is a little bit more advanced than the likes of Nico Bellic". A "little"? Seriously?
"Most of the time people just have it out with a bunch of shotguns or assault rifles". No, not really. Most combat situations are based on mart... #2
You may want to check the rules pertaining the "lame" report.

This is no opinion piece. It's a purposefully insulting bunch of extremized stereotypes put together in a badly written form, in order to grab some controversy-driven hits. It's not even entertaining. #1.1
firelogic: It's not like Final Fantasy XI (and even less XIV) have millions of players (Final Fantasy XI had 800k at it's peak between two platforms), you know? And that's woldwide. This is only Japan.
DQIX a MMO? Lol. It had some online functionalities, that's VERY differennt from a MMO.
There's no "making excuses". That's giving some perspective, since you guys don't have any. #1.1.4

If you check the whole video he argued quite clearly that photorealistic graphics have a *detrimental* effect on story and emotional delivery. hence the strawman argument. #1.1.1
too bad that photorealistic graphics and great writing aren't at all incompatible and both add to the ability to convey feelings, so arguing between the two is silly and meaningless.
too bad that the quality of games on onlive doesn't even get near to the quality of playing the same game on a dedicated platform. You can see the compression from a mile apart. #5.1
Hawken is not a "crappy cellphone game", in fact it won't run on the Ouya. Hawken's developer said they'll develop something on the Ouya, not that that something will be Hawken. #3.1.1
If I had a penny for every person that "lived and breathed" MMOs for "more than a decade" and has absolutely no clue I meet, I'd be on a yacht anchored in front of a tropical island. I meet quite a few every day by using the group finder on multiple MMOs.
You actually don't have the slightest solid data to assess how much it "made back" of the investment, nor how much it'll make in the future. As a matter of fact, EA was clear in sati... #1.1.1

Another bandwagony article with absolutely no clue. #1
It's way too early to worry about a MMO of which we don't even know the official name. #3.2
