That's funny and sad at the same time.  EA is probably the only
company to kill at least one MMOs worth of development in all of its
cancellations.  The remains are probably as numerous as the content
for a good sized MMO.  *sigh* Middleware companies on the other hand
probably love these cancellations to some degree.  Free prepaid
support contracts that they more or less do not need to honor or pay
back.  Sometimes the best middleware sale is the sale that doesn't
result in usage.  No support costs...=20=20
