No large corporation will ever make a game that is not more of less like EQ now or WoW or Rift or blah blah blah <insert any modern mmo >.

The reason is that they don't care about a niche of gamers. They don't even care about the game, really, except as a vehicle to glue a bunch of eyeballs to the screens for a while for yet another chance to sell them crap. I'm starting to think its all about the money!

The only chance for an actual game is for a very small company to produce it. But, even then, it takes a LOT of cash to get it rolling. All that cash is afraid. That cash is afraid that mean people who want to add hard stuff to the game will make it actually difficult.
