What ever happen to the making of these games? I know UO2 Turned into LBR for UO. But UXO was a good looking game. EA Games has a small page about it saying they needed to focus their attn on UO but why get so far on these games just to scrap them...

Money. They decided to take a smaller loss and scrap them rather than risk a lot more. You have to remember, this is EA we are talking about -- corporate executives, not game designers in charge.

They both suffered similar fates. They were both suddenly cancelled without warning.

Well, yes and no. They basically took all the UO2 3D models, made them into the ugliest 2D spirtes you ever saw, and threw it all together for Lord Blackthorn's Revenge. That's why we have the Meer, Juka, and Mighty Morphin Robo-Blackthorn.

They need more automations...I like the robots, the rest of it sucks though.
