Life as a gamer is difficult. Whether its trying to juggle playing too many new games, anticipating titles far in the future, or finding ways to stay awake into the early hours of the morning, nothing surpasses the grave disappointment had in a cancellation. Recently, Microsoft announced that after over two years of development, Mythica, their bold new venture into the realm of massively multiplayer online gaming, had been cancelled. A highly anticipated game, vibrantly endorsed by an active community, and embraced early by the media, Mythica’s cancellation has shocked the industry, not only at the loss of a potentially outstanding title, but at the hints it provides to Microsoft’s future line up.
