MMOs.com Podcast – Episode 130: Console MMOs, Development Costs, Crytek, & More

MMOs.com Podcast Episode 130 - Omer (@remotayx) and Erhan (@Ehaltay)

This is episode one hundred and thirty of the MMOs.com Podcast and we look at the most recent news and happenings in the MMO and gaming world. As always we jumped right into the Weekly Raid, "Will 2018 Be The Year of Console MMOs" We then discussed the cost of developing MMORPGs as well as the myth of the dying MMORPG genre. Surprisingly, EverQuest during its peak only ever recorded ~118,000 peak concurrent users. While few MMOs hit those kinds of numbers today there are games that do and given how much more fragmented the market is (countless titles today vs few back then), there's definitely more people playing MMORPGs in the West today than there was back in 2003. Afterwards we talked about the Crytek vs Star Citizen lawsuit as well as the shady Crycash initial coin offering.
