Penny Arcade had some less than kind words to say today regarding EverQuest 2. While I personally have been a long time fan of Gabe and Tycho, I found Gabe's comments short sighted and reeking of WoW bastageness (yes I made the word up).
I know there must be artists working at SOE. The only thing I can think of is that they are simply cogs in some corporate machine. They must be given no freedom at all. In fact after looking at the game I wouldnt be surprised if they are beaten daily. Their spirits have been broken. The troll models specifically may even be some kind of internal attempt to destroy the game and strike a blow against their corporate masters.
Tycho, while indifferent, at least wasn't so quick to judge. WoW has better graphics? It's a good game but.... /boggle
Anyways, you can at least read Tycho's comments which were worthwhile here .
