Mythica is dead in the womb. Earlier this week Dialogue tried to analyse the Why's and the How's. I'll try and see where this event will lead us instead. What kind of impact will Mythica's death have on the MMORPG genre?

If you put yourself in the shoes of other, smaller publishers for a second, and you look at Microsoft’s decision from their perspective, you’d probably be scared. What did Microsoft see of the future that they haven't? Mythica reportedly had everything to be successful, so why cancel it? In the next few weeks there will be some very nervous accountants hitting the books because of this event.

Hope you enjoy this week's EGV, and be sure to let us know how you think this event will shape the future of MMORPGs by leaving us your comments!
