IncGamers: MMO Weekly 04/08/09
Jeff Hollis is back, and this time he’s looking at the reasons Sci-Fi MMOs fail.
"Hello there, my fellow avatar jockeys, and welcome to this week’s futuristic edition of MMO Weekly. In this week’s epic installment, we’ll take a hard look at some of the more intriguing sci-fi MMOs of the past few years. We’ll also examine why they failed, and why sci-fi MMOs generally fare quite poorly.
"Fare quite poorly" doesn’t accurately describe the state of things though, does it? Perhaps a bit more accurate would be the phrase "die a horrid death." If you’re a lover of sci-fi, and you find yourself endlessly hoping for a juicy sci-fi MMO to sink your teeth into, you know exactly what I mean. Sci-fi MMOs just don’t do very well – and usually go under- especially compared to traditional fantasy MMOs."
