Massive Failure #5 - Cynic

Massive FailureIn an extra-cynical mood today, discussing Guesting finally arriving in "Guild Wars 2", the recent freak-out "Age of Conan" fans had about the future of their game (and how I feel it was unwarranted), and I ask do you give a damn about "The Elder Scrolls Online"? I know I certainly don't.

Finally, in today's Rant I call out gaming companies, and MMO companies in specific, for their attempts at communication with their players and fans.
