Topic	Ultima may be the most forgotten important video game series in history
Hayame_Zero 03/15/24 4:58:44 PM #57:	YellowSUV posted... From my understanding both Garriott and EA are responsible. Garriott admitted that EA didn't force them to rush 8 out with all the horrible bugs in it. EA was in part responsible for messing up 9 because they took developers off it to work on the highly successful Ultima Online which put 9 in development hell. That said, I'm don't think Garriott has it in him anymore to direct a good game. Ever since he literally went into space, all his attempts at video games seem to have been half assed. I think he abandoned Shroud of the Avatar pretty quickly and tried to save face by saying the game was now in the hands of the fans. Apparently his last idea for a game involved fucking NFTs and it quickly became vaporware. Yeah, I've vaguely kept up with the stuff he's worked on, and it really comes off as Garriott just being left in the dust creatively. Lightning struck twice with Ultima and Ultima Online as far as being influential, and he hasn't been able to recapture that or remain relevant. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame_Zero posted [p:979387206] in Ultima may...
