LOL so successful that we had to layoff a quarter of the people who worked on the game, yep, Seriously, I am sure that financially the game was a success, but there is only 1 reason for that, preorders. We as gamers really need to stop committing to these titles before we see them with our own eyes and play them. Demand more playable demos, or trials of these games so we can better form an opinion before opening our wallets.
