Paul Barnett: "I expect to see some large studios go under and some big name titles fail."

And with that, I'll fill in the blanks for Mr. Barnett: "I expect to see Funcom go under and Age of Conan to fail in 2009."

There, I said it..what of it? Other than that, it's possible that Stargate Online could go under as well as more of NCSoft (they've been stretching their resources too damn much and have suffered highly because of it).

Darkfall has got 22 days before launch and has only been know on the back end networks because of lack of advertisements and word of mouth other than "VAPORWARE". It's highly possible that it'll be just like Too Human where the developement was too long, the hype was too much, and the end product just don't live up to what it's supposed to be.

Also....I don't "entirely" blame Tabula Rasa's shutdown on Garriott, but I certainly give him credit in having a large part to do with it.
