Climax discusses the climax of Warhammer Online

Following up on the sad news that Warhammer Online had been cancelled, we get this report from Gamespot. The massively multiplayer genre is growing into a huge market, with some estimates putting the budget for Star Wars: Galaxies at $30 million. That's almost obscene. Of course, if an MMG game does well on the shelves then it can make that investment back in two years. But smaller developers like Climax are going to have to deliver quality games for a hell of a lot less than that if they hope to compete. There's a quick mention of the remote possibility that the project could be revived, but don't count on it.
