I have a shocking theory about why Age of Conan and Warhammer Online had such a low retention rate, losing most of their subscribers after a short time: These games simply weren't very good. Shocking, I'm telling you! I'm arriving at that conclusion from economic theory, particularly the theory ...

Looking Down on the Herd
Ardwulf's Lair —
... Today Syncaine makes fun of Tobold for saying that WoW is #1 with a bullet because it’s the best game on the market.
