Following up on the sad news that Warhammer Online had been cancelled, we get this report
from Gamespot. The massively multiplayer genre is growing into a huge market, with some estimates putting the budget
for Star Wars: Galaxies at $30 million. That's almost obscene. Of course, if an MMG game does well on the shelves
then it can make that investment back in two years. But smaller developers like Climax are going to have to deliver
quality games for a hell of a lot less than that if they hope to compete. There's a quick mention of the remote
possibility that the project could be revived, but don't count on it.
