The problem here is trying to remember the names of them...
1) Sims Online- Yes, they called it an MMO. Only beta where there was no bugs and no fun.
2) Earth & Beyond- So glad they pulled the plug on this one. Boring, boring, boring.
3) Roma Victor- Noble concept, ignoble execution.
4) SWG- Some remarkable things, but they launched with whole classes broken and unplayable (anyone remember Bio-Engineers, who could create a product that buffed a skill that was removed during Beta?). They recruited the gaming industry's top leadership who then completely fell on their face. They spent all their time perfecting social systems that no one would use and then ran out of time to put together a Jedi system. What kind of Star Wars game saves the Jedi system until last? Then, of course, came NGE.
5) Vaporware honorary mention: Atriarch- Still in early development after well over five years. Cool, original concepts but just got people's hopes up.

(Worst launches: Anarchy Online, EVE)
If you want to see parallels between this letter and those that were sent out during the troubled earlier days of a previous game, look no further than Anarchy Online. A completely different type of launch, but a consistent manner of dealing with launch problems.
