Daybreak sues THJ

Capitalism definitely ruined mmo's, and I'm a staunch capitalist. There's just no financial incentive for the old monthly subscription model given the risk involved and the amount of labor needed to get it off the ground in any meaningful way on modern tech. The original EQ team was tiny by modern standards, it was actually a viable model at the time, in addition to the novelty factor.

We're all really just lucky that we got to play it when it was new, I chalk that up as a win.

P99 Did prove you can sit on 2 expansions for 10 years and still be better than 1 year after the 3rd.

The monthly subscription model dictated the design of the game. Everything is generic homogenized shit now because of free to play with buy-in incentives and microtransactions.

GAME OFF

Everything is generic homogenized shit now because everyone want's to be liked by everyone.

Led Zeplin didn't write tunes that everyone liked, they left that up to the Beegies.



GAME ON!

I don't think you are a staunch capitalist at all.

If you're willing to abandon your beliefs over the pretend, you don't have beliefs.

You have a keyboard.

I never said capitalism was perfect. It's the best worst system, for example mmo's suck now.

It's OK to not like capitalism, I'm just unimpressed by the wank.

I'm sorry to have unimpressed against you
