The problem with CO is the attitude. The graphics, all the mission content, and it seems the entire world exists to parody the superhero genre. Almost every mission contains a winking joke about how lame everything is. "Ha, hah, isn't this lame? Everything you accomplish, it's so lame. Isn't it hilarious how lame you are?" It's like playing a pen-and-paper game with an annoying sarcastic hipster as your Game Master. The makers of CO are jaded and resentful of the superhero genre, and it shows.

An occasional joke at the genre's expense is okay. But CO is just overladen with them. If you're not going to take your genre seriously, pick a different one. (Maybe they did, with Star Trek Online. I don't know, I haven't tried it yet. Did they take space opera seriously?)

I have no idea how they thought that attitude was a good idea. It certainly doesn't encourage players. The players that kind of vicious sarcasm *does* attract...well, that's another problem.

I haven't come across this topic during the past few months (well admittedly, I haven't read through all the mega-sized good-bye threads), so for discussion:

How much does it cost to start up a game development studio these days? What are the average salaries for the critical positions? How many people in each expertise does one need, "at a minimum" for example? How much does other general monthly expenses run? Assuming the studio starts from scratch on a product, what's the average development time before one can expect any revenue? Eh, I know this is really subjective, but once there's a product, what kind of budget would one allocate to "basic(?)" marketing?

Inquiring minds want to know!
