Considering that quick turn around in this industry really is in the year plus range this would do some real harm even without causing a real crash. Look at how many of these publishers won't take any risk as is, and when this safer lower cost methodology starts failing them I doubt anyone going to flock back to make multi-million dollar AAA PC hex-based strategy games.

Anyone else notice though how awkward it is to say like 2010, 2011, etc.? Hope someone comes up with a better way to say those years since I can't think of one. Unless we're all going to walk around talking about that great summer we had back in ten.

@Fudce: As far as PVP goes at least so far it's there if you want it but hardly mandatory. Playing on a PVP server (which the norm is FFA) I only have 20 total kills/killed so far on my main. Now how that'll turn out the road we'll see since it's all kind of up in the air what we're doing once we're all 80. Though every MMO is like that when it comes out.

I will say though that I wish I could run it better, but even on low the game still looks pretty darn good.
