- I wonder if we'll ever see a new MMO from Turbine? I'd flip for a new original IP MMO...maybe go steampunk. NT reply posted by snapper 2012-01-25 13:56:13
  - New MMO, definitely... Original IP, I'm doubtful at this point NT reply posted by OptimShi 2012-01-25 14:20:44
    - The sad truth is that any original IP, like Angry Birds, would be a million-to-one shot, and MMOs require a lot of investment. posted by Marlowe 2012-01-28 18:10:06
    - Getting bought out by WB probably put the nail in that coffin. I'm sure they have a stack of IPs they'd like to cash in. NT reply posted by Stormwaltz 2012-01-26 11:02:19
