![]() I know some posters will think it is what we need, but if CU goes down, CF MMO's will hardly be a contender any more. I am not sure Crowdfunding is benefitting us enough to warrant the amounts of money it's sucking up from the market directly from consumers. What I see is them going down the route of gambling "gameplay", collector (NFT) "gameplay" and currency speculation "gameplay". I just don't see MMORPG's branching out more without CFing. Smaller self funded indie is a possibility, but how many well known titles have come from that over the last ten years? ![]() But where else are we going to get MMOs using templates which are not just WoW (ish)? AAA has all but abandoned MMORPGs, and NW proves that a lot of dosh does not give sure fire success anyway. With us really only having Albion Online as a CF MMO that has made a name for itself, the track record is poor. Yes, yes, we definitely NEED more things like theseĪll jokes aside, while crowdfunding may theoretically lead to good MMO games - it has more chances of making yet another failure because there's no financial responsibility and developers will keep thinking that "I should definitely try to kickstart my unimaginative garbage even though I have 0 experience with managing my own company all by myself and/or developing my own complex game engine needed for the complex project, the worst thing that will happen is I will have to close down and make few people on interwebs disappointed, with no legal obligations to those people, which is not a big deal, I can always try again later once enough people will forget about my previous failure". You mean something like Star Citizen, which was crowdfunded with like $400 million, been in development since 2011 and is still far from being finished? Even with all the negatives against it, CF MMOs offer a chance at diversity of gameplay and theme in the MMO market which is badly needed.
