And companies are in this business to make money.
Kind of true, but keep hope.

Look at say, Elite: Dangerous. There's a genre that everyone thought was dead. Crowd-funding comes along, Braben presents a vision of something, people who are interested in that thing directly make it happen.

If someone comes along with a business model that can sustain an old-school game like EQ, it will succeed.

It's worked for Space Sims, why can't it work for proper MMO's?
