THQ fears the MMO Juggernaut that is WoW
According to THQ CEO Brian Farrell, THQ has no plans to enter the MMO market in the near future, and they also view any attempts by other companies to do so as faulty.
This is of course stemming from the fact that World of Warcraft is toting around the hefty 6-million-players sack of money. This big sack of money (looks similar to a 1500 thread count pillow case) is currently sporting a face drawn in Sharpie resembling a Jack-o-Lantern.
That's right Blizzard, you scare away the competion. Maybe it'd be cool if the competition stopped making fantasy-based games and tried to appeal to a different audience with their games as opposed to appearing as a WoW clone. *cough* Lord of the Rings Online *cough* Warhammer Online *cough
Try something different, like a space simulator, (ignore utter failures in design like SWG) why didn't Warhammer go for 40,000k? Personally a much better IP with an established player-base (see: Dawn of War) and very different than WoW.
Diversity, ingenuity, try it, come on... try it.
