I don't think anyone has in "irrational" hatred of anyone. Maybe disappointment with these jokers is more like it. The game was suppose to release in 2005 and delayed and delayed. In an interview in PCGamer Jan 2007 they said they would be launching in late 07. The Simu guys said that, not anyone else.

So.....doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why there might be some backlash.

I have no vested interest in this game, I own no stocks in the company so I could care less when it launches, what bothers me is the outright dishonesty of the company. If they just say "guys we are launching in 2011", everything is fine in that case. But every year its the same thing, at the beginning they put out a brief article about how they will be launching that year, then fall off the radar for another year.

Really by the time they get around to launching, how interested is the market going to be in yet another fantasy based, level grinder anyway? They are missing or have missed their window of opportunity IMHO anyway. Thats why they shifted focus to marketing the engine instead. Anyone can plainly see the MMO market is over saturated and has one product dominating it.  As long as WoW sits on top of the MMO market like a gorilla sitting on a fly, its a bad time to launch an MMO.

 

 

They have missed no window of opportunity this game will still sell whenever it is released. Dishonesty a bit strong.... If you don't care why even post , seems to me that the dishonesty is coming from one place , yourself.

This game took too long to come out so I'm definitely not going to buy it when it finally does. Yeah, that makes sense.

Was it your April Fools joke to post in a thread where the last poster was you, fully one year earlier?

Ok seriously folks. Enough with the vaporware discussion. On the official forums they've said they will likely resume marketing later this year. 

ROFL... Wonder how Draq feels about it now...

Seeing as how they resumed marketing later that year, pretty good.
