Layoffs.
OK, that one’s a gimmie – and it hurts a lot more than MMORPGs. So let me pitch another one:
A bunch of MMOs either tried to downgrade themselves out of being MMOs, not because they aren’t MMOs but because they didn’t want to do the work of being MMOs. Temtem? New World? ArcheAge Chronicles? Mhm.
And then we saw several MMORPGs pivot to spinoff games as if this ever goes well! (It never goes well!) Zenith? Temtem, again? Come on!
What do you think was the worst MMORPG trend of 2024? What bad shit just keeps cropping up over and over and you wish it would stop?
At the turn of every calendar year, the MassivelyOP team assembles a traditional feast of annual content for your table. We recap the year, issue awards, highlight our favorite (and least favorite) stories, and gather your opinions together to send off the last year and welcome the new one. Grab a plate and take a bite out of this year-end Daily Grind!
