Massive Failure #2 - Walmart

Massive FailureOn today's "Massive Failure" podcast, I talk a bit about how important this year is for "Rift"; update schedules in MMORPGs and why the rest of the industry needs to be following the lead of "Rift" and "Guild Wars 2"; question why Fantasy is the most popular genre for MMORPGs by far; and close with a detailed rant about Free-to-Play and the devolution of the MMORPG industry.
