Game of Thrones MMO

I can't express how disappointed i am with this. The IP should have been licensed to a competent subscription favouring company, instead we get a trashy browser based MMO by Bigpoint.

.. Really? They are making it a free to play browser based mmo?
C'mon, Game of Thrones has such a vast world and lore that it needs more attention than this!

Yep F2P, its the same company who made the recent 'MMO' for Battlestar Galactica using the Unity engine. It's an impressive engine for browsers but still crappy.

It is unfortunate that Bigpoint are allowed to do anything, they are pretty much in the same boat as zynga when it comes to moneygrabbing.

BSGO is a joke, six months after it came out of beta, it still lacks a storyline, the graphics are still dubious, and they still cannot stop fiddling with things, especially the balance between the two factions.

Suffice to say, a game based upon GoT will be another disaster, and I am glad to say that I am glad that I got out while I could.

I don't see why people are wanting any form of WFaS game.

The only ones I can see benefiting from the multiple factions is a Total War or Sengoku like strategy game. Or Mount and Blade... I take my initial point back.
