Good riddence.

Two down, 10 more to go in 2009.

Seriously though, Lord British had at least the decency to acknowledge TR was not a big success.

Other companies are calling themselves big successes while - in reality - they have even lesser gameplay than TR. AoC of course comes to mind, but War is the worst of the bunch.
WAR is selling now at 20 dollars retail or even less (selling at a retailers loss in Christmas season) and just playing it gives you a headache but still Mark Jacobs thinks it has the best POTENTIAL. Sickening really.

Coming back to Tabula Rasa and Hellgate. You DO realise these games die just a little over one year of existence ... and the BIG RED PENCIL of investors will be going over other MMORPG spreedsheet losses soon in these economic times.

PotBS, AoC will be next. Players be warned. Despite the efforts of complete websites to promote broken products (where players pay for Beta trials really)... this industry will have its biggest shake out ever in 2009 and I for one won't blink.
