Wired's 2007 Vaporware Awards

Braedley sends word that Wired's annual vaporware list is up, and a number of products this community has discussed made the cut. The top spot, the position of most dishonor, was almost a foregone conclusion. "Another December, another list, another crowning achievement by the Emperor of the Ethereal, the Head Honcho of Hype, Duke Nukem Forever. We were going to disqualify him out of pity, but Sir Duke is back for 2007 thanks to a few leaked screenshots and an overwhelming number of votes. DNF creators 3D Realms even chose this week to debut a well-publicized video trailer for Duke's long-awaited return. Alas, a trailer is not a game, so — long live the king!"

  1. Do us a service, go after politicians instead by Shivetya · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would love to see Wired and the likes list the top ten things promised by politicians and what actually occured.

    Perhaps if people saw more of the crap that government politicians pulled they would stop being distracted by the nonsense crap like what company A or company B failed to deliver.

    Priorities people. This whole Wired! list is like an exercise in futility, it has no effect on your life.

    Going after Blizzard for an unknown game announcement? Why not beat on Warhammer Online? Where is it at?
