On The Over-Saturation Of MMO Games

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday February 18, 2004 @11:56PM from the suspicious-dye-coloration-in-pool dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Stratics has an editorial discussing MMO market saturation, specifically triggered by the recent closure of Microsoft's massively multiplayer PC game, Mythica. The piece argues: 'But there is a dark realization that is now being considered, just when does it end? When does the genre hit the ceiling and all that ends up happening is [that] companies resort to passing around subscriptions with no real growth. This is a question that is haunting corporations who have potential products laid before senior management - just how long can it continue? When does the opportunity cost grow larger than any potential earning?'"

From the Mythica website: After a rigorous review of current and future projects, the decision was made that Mythica would not be one of the projects we would continue to invest in.

What projects you ask...
A project for learning MS programmers not to swear and teach them propper manners in their comment.
