Developers generally get around to announcing an MMO once it is several years in development. After all, MMOs take a very long time to develop, and are often times at risk of sudden cancellation for one reason or another. In the case of World of Darkness, CCP first announced the MMO way back in 2006 with White Wolf Publishing at Eve Online Fanfest for release in about five or six years. Following a series of layoffs at the team over the past few years, CCP confirmed earlier this year that World of Darkness is still in pre-production and won’t be coming out until 2015 at the earliest.
Just yesterday, CCP once again confirmed layoffs at the World of Darkness development team. The moral of the story? Don’t count your chickens before you have any eggs, or a chicken.
