First of all no where did I ever state I didnt like the game. In fact I played 6-8 hours every day until GW2 came out, which is a lot longer than most people gave the game. Still doesnt change my position on the game though. As many have stated in regards to the recent changes made to games like D3 and SW:ToR that have made them better: A game only has ONE chance to make an impression on most people. Thats probably why games give you that first month for free.
If an overwhelming number of people that bought your game still arent logging in 2 months later thats a failure. You failed to keep the players intersted in the game which as a game designer is your main goal. In both games the Developers FAILED to fix major bugs in a timely manner that should have been fixed in Beta in the first place. In D3 Blizzard has still FAILED to deal with the bot problem. Maybe I should have outlined my definition of a failure. Obviously record sales doesnt make anything a failure. But when most people stop playing shortly after the game launches that does.
