IncGamers - The Humans-Only Mistake.
Ok, enough pedantry. I'm sure you're seeing the trend here and, if you've read my prior articles, you know what I'm talking about: the “humans only” error. Basically, if you're publishing an MMO in which players can only play as humans, you are alienating a significant portion of your potential customers. There is simply a large number of players that want to play gnomes, trolls, or other equally exotic characters. If you, as a developer, don't extend that option to them, they simply won't play your game.

Fuck you and your laziness. Like developers don't have budgets and schedules...no, failing to make a massive investment in character art, animations, story, quests, etc is all due to laziness. "It's so easy." "It wouldn't take hardly any extra time at all." You don't have a clue, and neither does the author of this "article". Oh look, I'm published on the internet...that makes me credible.
