I understand Warhammer Online was a massive failure (although you could argue that GW did itself no favors by refusing to let the game go free-to-play), but going with this lowest-bidder-and-maybe-it'll-work plan is basically throwing money away and making your IP look like poo poo.

You don't have to make your IPs into whatever genre is popular today, GW. Well, at least they're not making a 40k moba- oh wait :commissar:

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I dunno, a 40k moba sounds like one moba I'd actually play, if they went full Warham and embraced the crazy.

Games Workshop are practically schizophrenic with their license. Some amazing poo poo like Dawn of War, and the new Total War game is looking really promising. But for every one of those there are like three or four hail-mary passes by random dev teams in the weirdest genres.

I have high hopes for Warhammmer Total War, but making a MMO about war just doesn't work for the most part. You are a soldier in the army, you don't go wondering off solo doing quest.

They could have copied Granado Espada, and just put you in control of a small group of characters, with more or less depending on what faction you were or something.

In Warhammer 40k it works well enough since the Space Marines are just a small group of super soldiers used to break through the enemy front. Obviously you can't play as an Imperial Guard or such, but it's alright.

And frankly the civilizations in 40k are so huge and unwieldly that most of armies seemingly operate of their own accord. The only ones that would be harder to get away with would be the ones being mind controlled or given orders via telepathic brain bugs.

I always thought that was the way to do it, make the player an Inquisitor and let him build a retinue.

Now a Inquisitor based MMO would work, its small scale and a lot of RP room. Also Necromunda would be a fun MMO, you would have guilds/gangs and do instanced battle grounds where you would get exp and coin to upgrade your gear.

Yeah it's hard to make a game around crafting wars, let alone a world of the stuff.
How would that even sell as an MMO?

Eternal Crusade isn't even an MMO anymore, it's just Space Marine multiplayer with a social map in between matches, really.

Also their latest gameplay video was cringeworthy.

This game is dead ever since they gave up making Warhammer Planetside where all the free players can only be ork boyz. Whatever this becomes will not be pretty.

Good to know upfront that they gave up on something which might possibly be cool but probably suck in favor of doing something that will definitely suck.

Space Marine Multiplayer the MMO with decent servers would have easily made bank since that aspect of the game was really, really fun.

Lol they are not charging anything for this game because its awful. Just go buy Space Marine for 5 bucks and slam some beers while you cleanse the orkz from the planet.

In their defense, crowdfunding a MMO has never loving worked, so I'm glad to see a dev trying to scale it back and work within their means as opposed to promising the moon.
