I was reading a GameInformer countdown of 8 failed MMOs; the undisputed winner:

APB
Realtime Worlds/Electronic Arts
06/29/2010 - 9/16/2010 (eighty freakin' days)

Eighty days. Think about that. $100 million and four-plus years to make a game that didn't last three months. How epic of a failure is that? If the widely reported $100 million development budget is in the ballpark, it's the kind of career-killing disaster that moviegoers wish on M. Night Shyamalan. Given the magnitude and frequency of the terrible design decisions, from the awful matchmaking to the stupid progression to the divide between social and action gaming, the market acted perfectly rationally in APB's case.

Wow. :lmao:
