I legitimately think if starwars outlaws had been an mmo it would have done very well.

I would get divorced if starwars battlefront became an MMO.

Imagine how hyper-monetized a new Star Wars MMO would be. It's worse than looking forward to a new Star Wars movie, a soulless mechanism to print money.

If the development cost/overhead/ and upkeep get low enough it will be possible to make MMOs more niche focused. This will probably be the key to reviving the genre. The mass appeal MMO is a dead concept imo, everything oriented towards that just turns into modern WoW (phased questing, DDR high APM raiding, and daily dollhouse-related fetch quests).

I'll bet you a new MMO breakthrough is right around the corner with the advent of AI.

It can't be a business tho. There is no money in developing a AAA cutting edge mmorpg in the age of the 5 second attention span.

We need an eccentric billionaire not named asshole, to just hire a team to build a balanced D&D style game mechanics with AI-directed mobs that will not just spawn in the same place and path the same way, because they learn to avoid you. Then, buy the IP from Dark Paw Holding Company and Warehousing and charge people a 20 dollar a month donation, and hire actual gm's to ban any meta gamers, and botting, and any monetization.

Like the Grateful Dead, it will have a ferocious fan base, and will attract multiple generations of curious people, who will often get hooked too.

But it can't be a business.

For starters, they could try not pleasing the "40 year old loser" crowd, because they are too cheap to spend money and don't agree on anything

I disagree, but only with that last part.
