A busted game can be fixed, but there has to be a good game under all the broken bits.<br /><br />Of course, I'd love if someone could prove me wrong and remind me of a game that launched bad and got the good patched in.<br /><br />@ Yeebo - Thank you so much for the link. I hear about that blog and I wanted to check it out.<br /><br />@ MMOGC - That does sound familiar. If they had just launched it Guild Wars style, people might have been more willing to try it. Having the spectre of the hourly rate hanging over the game hurt it quite a bit.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-91484052735273739872010-09-17T22:13:56.020-07:002010-09-17T22:13:56.020-07:00I tried it for a bit as well, and had fun doing it...I tried it for a bit as well, and had fun doing it though it wasn't something I could play for the long term.

Kind of a shame, cops and robbers the MMO sounds like a fun concept.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-4878735479949297152010-09-16T14:00:52.304-07:002010-09-16T14:00:52.304-07:00Well, I guess this shows other developers that the...Well, I guess this shows other developers that they shouldn't spend lots of time and money making a bad game, and then try to fix it with a massive overhaul just after launch. Or even a couple years after - looking at you SWG!Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.com
