Re: Can The9 replace WoW profits with any of their new games?

Gamers don't care which company licenses and runs their servers
(unless they suck), they only care which games are the most fun to
play. Nothing can make up for a record breakingly popular game that
has unheard of profitability levels. From a business perspective WoW
is incredibly unique as far as games go and I don't see any future
MMORPGs with the same style being even remotely as profitable. The9
has also lost the chance to run Starcraft 2 (which has a cult-like
fanbase). None of the games they are working on are even worth
playing...unless you like soccer (commy sport).
