What’s this? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

I heard the news yesterday while I was in the chat asking for the new host referrers, still swamped in all my problems. I thought it was a joke, then I read it and found it really fun. If SOE is decided to end its path with a spectacular collapse I’ll make sure to grab the pop-corns. I won’t even try to argue with the positive comments that you can find here and there even between undoubtable sources. Is everyone going completely NUT? Come on, you forgot about EVERYTHING? Tabula Rasa? Nothing? It’s all cancelled?

I already explained my stance on the problem but that image I pasted here goes simply *beyond*. As I said in another context (DAoC’s Catacombs review) there are things that everyone knows but MUST remain hidden. You cannot admit that shit with a bright smile on your face. It’s simply TOO MUCH. It’s too fucking shameless!

Are really these games just about getting the shiney? Farm for the win the compulsive-obsessive mechanics? Are we really OPENLY admitting that there’s nothing else? That’s it’s just a bunch of nerds with too much money and a failed life? Are the mmorpgs really becoming a protected reserve of idiots to milk?

The king is naked. Everyone knows it. But now he is fucking DANCING in the roads. With all his belongings jiggling around.

Is this some sort of new self-satire?

We spent days, months, years talking about the fears on The Apocalypse. Now The Apocalypse is coming. All we get is:
“Oh look, it’s coming.”

Raph, it’s the time. Please go with your phat leet and stone the poor Smed. For the children, of course.
