"If Duke Nukem Forever does actually see the light of day--which may surprise its creators as much as anyone else--its role of whipping boy in the world of tech snarkiness might be filled by Darkfall, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in development for almost seven years ... so far."

More and more of the major computer and gaming sites are taking shots at Darkfall. I wonder which site will be next? Maybe I should e-mail a copy to Tasos for a laugh.

They must be so proud!  They keep getting their name listed on all of these sites.

They should be honored to be up with Duke Nukem Forever..

Congratulations Adventurine!

Definately email it to Tasos, that would be great!

No no, this is a different one... The second one in about a month I believe?

Also, we should post this on the DF boards, they would love this

Congratulations! Darkfall has been proclaimed #14 ( tied with Duke Nukem Forever ) on the PC World Top 15 Vaporware Products list. You should all be proud. Keep up the good work, you'll be at #1 before too long. I'm sure Tasos is just overjoyed at the prospect.

Hate to burst your bubble, but PC World has been around for a very long time, both the site and the magazine. Also, they are a mainstream computer information site, they do not generally cover computer games as a dedicated game site/magazine would. So for PC World to call out Darkfall as vaporware means not only are we gamers fed up with Aventurine, but their lackluster development strategies are now becoming known to the press in general.

Lol good one.

  I wouldn't be surprised if you get a reply.  We all know how much they hate interviewers but love random people who email them!

Actually, its the same site and the same article that got posted months ago. More and more? Try one, and I wouldn't call them major either. Most "major" gaming sites don't make unprofessional and uninformed assumptions about games in development. Darkfall has only been in development for about 5 years. Anyone else remember the vaporware trolls back in the Middle Earth Online days?

And the excuse for the Warcry article?
