Ultima Online will get limited funding due to the fact that people are greedy. The almighty dollar spawns an emotion in people. They must have it. The more they make, the less they seem to have, in their mind.
(Note the proper indentations?) If Ultima is not generating a serious profit, then why bother investing in the game? I seriously doubt that Ultima has more than three full time devs.
In game vendors and player run shops. The greed. Come on, items costing millions in play gold???? Serious?? A perfect display of greed, and it's not even tangible capital. How messed up is that?
Online gaming is what it is, computer games, and corporations trying to make a buck. If a game flops, fails, or dies out....so be it. I have seen a game go bye bye......I lived, no big deal.
One final note?? Is it too hard to spell? Using abbreviations says a lot about a person.....and the word lazy comes to mind.
