The cancellation of Blue Protocol, while not unforeseen, still stings. It seemed to have potential and was a pretty hefty new MMO in a time when we’re getting so few of them. Now, we have to scratch another “could’ve been” off the list of our hopes and dreams.
Unless, of course, you placed no expectations upon this title because you have a wait-and-see philosophy to upcoming games. There’s always that choice, isn’t there?
