Recent rumors held that THQ had canceled its whole 2014 lineup, including Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online. THQ responded shortly after with the cryptic announcement that it “has not made any decisions regarding the planned MMO.”
According to a release calendar in today’s earnings report, DMO is still on. The title is listed in the “Fiscal 2014 and beyond” category (Fiscal 2014 begins in April of 2013, just after the original release date), alongside other games THQ claims are still in the works: Turtle Rock Studio’s unnamed FPS; Volition’s inSane; Homefront 2; and the “Patrice Désilets Original Title.” Additionally, THQ has “four unannounced core titles” for fiscal 2014 and beyond, indicating an intention to remain in business beyond fiscal 2014.
Somewhat closer to home, THQ also has two “unannounced core titles” for fiscal 2013 (this year through March 2013). That’s in addition to UFC Undisputed 3, Darksiders 2, South Park, a new WWE release, Metro: Last Light, and Devil’s Third.
The Line Between Passion and Addiction
Feb 2nd
We’re all avid gamers. I think that’s safe to say, since we’re all here either writing or reading about games. However, there’s a thin line between being passionate about a subject and being completely obsessed. Game addiction is a very real problem for thousands, if not millions of people. In my days of WoW raiding, it wasn’t uncommon to hear stories of abandoned wives, lost jobs and other nasty consequences of being unable to pull oneself away from the screen.
Anthony Rosner, a third-year student at University of Central Arkansas, decided to plunge headlong into the world of game addiction with his short film, IRL. The movie focuses on World of Warcraft, but gamers of all varieties will likely find something with which to identify.
If you have about ten minutes to kill, the movie is definitely worth a look:
If anything, IRL provides us with an opportunity to discuss the perils of game addiction. When do you think passion crosses over into addiction? Have you ever had to forcefully pull yourself or a friend out of a game?
