That doesn't mean it's disappointed with what developer Mythic has done with the license.
EA CEO John Riccitiello has revealed that despite believing upcoming MMO Warhammer online is a "strong game" it isn't going to rival World of Warcraft.
"Warhammer Online [will be] a strong entry in the MMORPG space," Riccitiello said at the William Blair & Company's investor meeting. "No, I don't think it's going to rival WoW, but no one would ever predict that. But it is a strong game that will ... get our returns for us. We're proud of it."
Warhammer Online is currently scheduled for release later this year.

So they don't care about getting on top of the competition, just their money. Damn sock sniffers

Could you be much more of a moron Pathetic. Your name makes perfect sense by the way. I can only assume you have no notion of how many subscribers WoW has. 8 mil +. To assume that your game is going to gather that many gamers is absurd. I'm willing to bet that if you ask Blizzard, they werent expecting the numbers they pulled either.
And while I hate EA, they are a company with an investment. Of course they are mainly concerned with getting their return. Any company that isnt... well... isnt around long
