This game was developed by Ubisoft Singapore. Ubisoft was apparently obligated to release it due to a deal with Singaporean government, which provided subsides for its development. This lead to serious mismanagement and team member turnover. Here's an interesting article about it:

I didn't miss shit.

Still -by far- the best fantasy MMO around, and one of the best games ever made. The fact that people still hate on it 18 years later speaks volumes.

And they got the balls to charge $70 for this crap. My days of buying AAA games upon release are over.

Elon Musk is the wealthiest man in the world, and heads companies that are literally shooting for the moon. It's amazing he has any time at all to play games, let alone perfect his builds.

@clawson34: Captain Marvel was amazing compared to this hot turd of a movie.

@letsgame82: Or who have no interest in VR.

I don't own a VR device, and am not interested in buying one, so I'll pass. WTF were they thinking releasing such an anticipated game in VR only format? Do they really want only a tiny fraction of gamers to play this title? A Valve marketing ploy to sell VR equipment? GTFO.

I hear they are going to call the service "Steam-ed Dumplings"
