    Well, hopefully it just utilizes the assets of their previous 2 publicly failed titles. The art design looked good for them, the ideas just weren't there imo. And hopefully not another battle royale. I'd personally would like a looter-shooter if possible.

    Dunno if MMO is the term, more like "Multiplayer tower defence simulator". ;)

    No trials. No tricks. No traps. No EU-RP server. NO THANKS!

    Amazon is also working with industry and MMO veteran John Smedley on an unannounced project with the dev team in San Diego.

    ..which will be a failure, like everything he had touched.

    I can't remember if they produced any new games while he was there, did he not just oversee a downsizing strategy with what they had in the stable?

    If not for him we would not have Everquest. So I forgive everything else.
