EA's Majestic Canned
Everyone remember Majestic? That game that calls you and IMs you and faxes you etc?
Well after all kinds of speculation and press, the game is getting the
plug pulled for lack of profit.
Of the 800,000 people who started to register for the free, first installment of the game, only 71,200 completed the process. That number fell to 10,000 to 15,000 subscribers when it came time to pay. It was a grand experiment, but one that ultimately cost EA between $5 million and $7 million. EA expects to shut the game down completely by the middle of next year.
We had a couple of threads about the game leading up to the release. Here and here and here. Or you can see all the news items we've posted here. Thanks Chris Morris
