Making Mass Effect an MMO is one of the worst idea's I've ever heard, unless they're trying to think up inventive new ways to completely ruin an IP, which they seem to be pretty good at these days.
"Turbine doesn't think subscription MMOs are dying, which might come as something of a surprise to fans of the pay-as-you-go business model that's spreading like wildfire across the Western MMO landscape."
I seriously hope that's sarcasm. The amount of F2P shilling that goes on at this site is sickening.
In other news killing was also removed. Combat will be exclusively shown via cinematics and a "Loot Roll" button will appear to generate loot at the conclusion.
Oh please, everyone knew this was coming. Everyone feigns ignorance like it won't happen when the cash shop comes. "Oh, they'll be responsible" "F2P for the win!" "It will just be cosmetic! it's ok!"
EVERY. DAMN. TIME you people fall for this shit.
There's a reason I bailed out when WB took over, and didn't look back when it became F2P. I knew they would gut the soul of the game and sell it, and here it is, on display for all to see. Believe the naysayers now?
Do not feed the min/maxers. Nobody will use these to "work out their builds" and instead it just fosters the sad elitist sect of the community dedicated to making "perfect" cookie cutter builds and then excluding/deriding anyone who doesn't abide by them.
I hate hearing about this game )=. Mainly because it may be in CBT4, but even after it launches it will likely be the better half of forever before we see it localized and go through the process in the US. I just hope it will be sufficiently sandboxy. I am just so fucking tired that the entire MMO genre has become one big themepark.
