Gamespot's April 1 Rumor Control

Posted by Zonk on Saturday April 2, 2005 @05:59AM from the hole-in-the-windbag dept.

In case any of you were wondering what was and wasn't true yesterday, Gamespot has a rundown on some of the stories that made the rounds on 2005's April 1st. From the article: "One of the day's more devious pranks--also spread by the now obviously complicit Slashdot--plays on the fears of many gamers. In particular, it outlines the nightmare scenario of those who shelled out $99.99 for the Final Fantasy XI/PS2 hard drive bundle. Namely, if its subscriber base dwindles, Sony might discontinue support for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game." Heh.

Re:FFXI....it would have been sorely missed... by Anonymous Coward · 2005-04-02 06:12 · Score: 1, Informative

Let's put it this way: Sony isn't stupid. Enough people enjoyed FFXI that they stopped making the part required to play it. Hmm...

FFXI is popular in Japan. It was pretty much a flop in the US, despite when the US players on this site want you to believe. EQ probably has more US players than FFXI ever did.
