The Secret World–Deleted

It’s official, we have both deleted all game files for The Secret World from our computers.  It wasn’t a difficult decision truth be told.  Between the attitude of the developers, the poor optimization, the disconnected combat, jerky animations, and the incredibly poor character creation choices deletion was an actual relief.  $500 lesson learned, words from Funcom are insufficient.  It is abundantly apparent that Funcom has learned nothing from two previously horrible launches: Anarchy Online and Age of Conan.  Who knows, maybe in six months they will have worked out some of the issues and the game may actually be playable but I doubt it will happen that quickly. 

I sincerely hope that those players who stick it out with the game help make it better.  I just don’t have the time or energy to help a gaming company put out a polished product post-launch.  It is just sad that a company has failed to learn from past mistakes so completely.
