Uru Live Cancelled, Expansion Packs Promised

Datasage writes "Announced today on the UbiSoft community boards. Uru Live, the online part of Cyan's PC title Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, will be closing down. They were not able to get enough subscribers (even within the free Beta) to sustain the world. Instead Cyan has refocused its efforts, and will be putting out expansion packs for Uru, the first of which, due out a couple months, will be freely downloadable." Andrew Plotkin has written an informative FAQ regarding Uru Live, explaining the now defunct collaborative online part of this single-player PC game from the Myst creators.

Had anyone here ever heard of this product? The head line should have read:

Product nobody heard of gets cancelled because nobody knows about it

There's this thing callled "advertisements" that let consumers know about products. I have never seen a single ad or article about anything to do with a version of Myst that has an online component.
