Titan has been cancelled.

No HotS is damn fun. It is going to be a massive hit.

I thought I'd be more depressed about this, but maybe it's just the fact we never really saw anything about the game that makes it feel so irrelevant. Probably that and the fact that I could never be competitive like I once was in WoW's early days due to time constraints.

I am a long time Dota player, and got to play HOTS for the first time last weekend. It doesn't suck. The depth might not be there, but the fun factor is.

Titan was nothing more than rumors and farts in the wind. Can't say this cancellation does any more for me than the unveiling announcement did. Whole bunch of 'meh'.

Atleast we get an Utnayan Avatar change out of this.

Here's my idea of what column should change it to:

Hey farts in the wind can be rather potent.

I just wonder what the other MMO's had to do with this decision? As a corporation that likes to make money, they clearly want to remain the biggest players in the MMO game.

Did they feel Titan was inferior to them and would have been a bust? Or did they feel WoW is still superior to all of them and will be for the foreseeable future? Depending on how you view this, it either speaks very highly or very lowly of products like EQ:Next and Destiny.

Yes. This and Diablo.

I get the feeling that whatever Titan was it somehow ended up being a console game called Destiny.

This is correct and this is the reason why the announcement came now despite Titan being killed 18 months ago. Now that Activision has proven that Destiny is another billion $ franchise there is no point pouring more money into a third rate Destiny clone hence the announcement.

If you pay attention and read between the lines it's not Titan that got killed (bc that was killed last year), but the scifi shooter quasi MOBA 1sdt+3rd person view type of game that they were still considering.

I thought this happened like a year ago? What am I thinking of?

They said a year ago they were pretty much scrapping what they had and were going back to the drawing board. I guess they couldn't work everything out in that time so they just canned the entire project now.

Microsoft doesn't give a shit about the Xbox. It's all about mobile this is why they paid so much. Minecraft sold more on mobile than on PC.

Yea, I supposed they don't think sandbox Minecraftesque MMOs are ready for general use yet.

If so you are in for a surprise soon.

Did you miss what happened to Wildstar or something?

Yeah...they took the wrong lessons from what made Vanilla-TBC so successful and took them to the extreme.

Too much green.

O lookie here...... ;}

UT, I think it's time to don the green

You should have given him a Paul Sage avatar.

With this news I declare the MMO genre DEAD. 7 years and Blizzard couldn't churn out another MMO? RIP MMO's.
