Hey,
So I will start. Feel free to add in your own formula. This is meant as a fun way to break down the current MMO industry.
1) Fanboi + Links != GG
2) Trolls + Rumors != BG
3) KOTOR + Chat != MMORPG
4) Sorry about 3, it kind of slipped.
5) MMORPG + Nothing New != Something Good
6) P2P + CS != Sin
7) Fanboi + Rumors != GG
8) Fun + Opinion = Yours != Everyone Else
9) If GAME = Fun :repeat else :uninstall
10) Eve != Sandbox
I kind of made those on the fly, feel free to continue...

Drop the acronyms, clarify your names, and you have yourself a game!
My blog is a continuing story of what MMO's should be like.

Was the previous one SWTOR and TERA and the next is going to be AA and TESO?
You can also substitute fast food restaurants, presidential candidates and natural disasters.

A few from my perspective:
Indie + rushed = buggy mess
Indie + extremely high design goals = vaporware (also see buggy mess)
Indie + gameplay over graphics = might have a chance
Indie + players expecting AAA = disappointment
AAA + large budget = yet another typical themepark
AAA + large budget + sandbox design = wait for years and years and years
cutting edge graphics + great gampley = rarely happens
themeparkers + sandbox = where the F* are the quest hubs?
sandboxers + themepark = I want a world, not a game!
PVEers + FFA sandbox = Aaaaarrrgghhh <- sound of painful death
All in humor of course.
Not really. The truly sad part is that you're actually right on all accounts.
