Crimecraft launched today, and if there’s one thing to say about the developers, Vogster Entertainment, it is that they are very self aware. They recognize that Crimecraft is foremost a shooter, and secondly an MMO (the persistent lobby). They are stout in their belief that Crimecraft is not, as many naysayers seem to believe, a “Grand Theft Auto IV MMO” and is more focused on team play than soloing. More importantly, when asked about their upcoming competitor All Points Bulletin, Vogster has nothing to say other than bring it on.
When asked about World of Warcraft, as the question tends to come up every time a new MMO launches, Mike Donatelli had this to say:
That’s the thing, even with 300K,WAR is successful. It makes a profit and allows the developers to create expansions. I think a game’s success should judged by its merits and its community more than how many subs it gets. Everyone is racing to topple WoW at the top of the mountain when there are perfectly good hills all around.
Crimecraft players should be happy in knowing that as long as Vogster is making enough money to stay afloat, their game will be safe. Crimecraft is available for purchase in stores at Best Buy, Future Shop, and online at Steam, crimecraft.com, and Direct 2 Drive. Sorry to everyone overseas, Crimecraft is currently launching solely in the United States and Canada for now (Steam and Direct 2 Drive will only sell to North American users).
