Is this the latest sign that traditional RPG titles are being shoved out the door to make room for more MMORPG games and shooter games? I suppose you could argue that a KOTOR MMO does not necessarily preclude a Knights of the Old Republic 3 traditional RPG title, but in my opinion, reading between the lines, the answer is pretty clear. This MMO is being developed instead of a traditional sequel to Knights of the Old Republic 2, not in addition to such a sequel. This depresses me beyond measure. Is there truly no market in the video game industry these days for single player, story driven role playing games with memorable characters and branching plot-lines? Have we as video game players truly sent the message, via our wallets, that developers should no longer bother with traditional rpg titles and instead focus all their time and effort into making power-leveling MMO games? I would write more analysis, and probably will write more at some point, but right now I'm just too damned disappointed to belabor the point any further.
