Wish Cancellation Article

GameZone has published an article that provides some insight into Mutable Realms’ decision to cancel their Ultra MMORPG, Wish. The article quotes the company’s president statement to fan sites, which is summed up in this paragraph:

It appears, in the end, that it came down to subscription numbers and was purely a business decision. It does cost a lot of money to develop and maintain an MMO, and with the communities being somewhat transitory (stay with one game for several months, then hop to the next big thing), the folks at Mutable Realms may have decided to cut their losses. It is unfortunate, though, that they could not have been more upfront with the reasons in a more general sense. With limited information is what appeared to be a somewhat hasty goodbye note to players, media, and on the home page itself, Mutable Realms opened the door for speculation.
