2007: The year of the flailing, burning, failures.
Well-known game journalist Michael Zenke drops by Gamasutra to share his list of the top 5 most significant MMO events which have transpired in the last year.
This has been an unbelievable year for Massive games. Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a positive sense. When I made a few back-of-the-napkin prognostications about the coming year in December of 2006, I thought I was being a huge sourpuss.
It turns out I wasn't nearly sour enough. Closures, projects failing in their development phase, the departure of notable individuals from high-profile titles, weak launches, minor scandals, a number of games that were just plain delayed ... it's been a hell of year.
