We knew something had to happen with DUST 514, and the story, "New MMO cannot handle the load" has been retold so many times at this point that I am not sure who could be surprised.<br /><br />I think one of the as yet untested aspects of 2014 is how well the two new monthly subscription MMOs do with that model. Which one will go F2P first?<br /><br />As for an improvement over 2013, I must strongly disagree. Something to talk about is always better than nothing to talk about!
