Nonsense. Funcom’s Anarchy Online, a very small niche title, has been going for 7 years. Barnett is either backhanding AoC or just completely oblivious to finer details of the MMO market which is weak and concerning at either capacity.

as for 40k, i’m flat out refusing to acknowledge it’s existence till they agree to scrap the RPG and make it an MMOFPS

paul barnett has always shown a passion for WAR and the dev team seem similarly driven, those i know who are on the beta also enjoy it immensely

a complaint i hear often is the confused art design, it seems to jump from overly cute to dark and from sharp textured ‘realistic’ to low textured ‘fake’ at a whim constantly ripping you our of the game to say ‘wtf is that meant to be’

I reckon WAR may well make it, you know. Talking to people that know about such things last week, there does seem to be a general feeling that it’s all “there” and there’s a solid content plan in place going forward.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like he’s already doing a bit of damage control here…

So a similar drop-off in subs after the game’s release a la Conan then? Joy. They’d better not do this with WH40K
