After seven years of development, Titan—Blizzard’s not-so-secret MMO—was cancelled. Though the game was never officially announced, and though we never got to actually see the game in action, the internet does have a lot of feelings about Titan.
It

makes sense. The cancellation is a huge deal, especially when Titan was considered Blizzard’s next big thing after the behemoth that is World of Warcraft. Nevermind the amount of money and time sunk
royally rummy into the game; of course people are reacting to the news. Blizzard fans can’t help but wonder what Blizzard’s future holds—and more broadly, what this this means for MMOs and even massive triple-A games in general.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1638755065","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"culture","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"culture","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); It helps that Titan sounded genuinely fascinating. Lots of comparisons to Team Fortress, Destiny and The Sims abound. Naturally, many folks wish they could have played Titan—a few folks wanted the game so much, they seem livid that Titan was canceled. And some folks responded to the news with a virtual shrug.

Blizzard is setting it up for a nice BlizzCon reveal of

a new game IMO. — Rhéa (@ashelia) September 23, 2014 So Blizzard drops Project Titan and people are absolutely livid? It makes you angry that they dropped a game no one knew anything about? — Jack Doumanian (@JackDoumanian) September 24, 2014 Blizzard's canceled TITAN

rummy 51 where Blizzard has 20 million + people playing Hearthstone, why do they even need a Titan? — David Ellis (@DavidEllis) September 23, 2014 https://twitter.com/embed/status/514824233252175872 https://twitter.com/embed/status/514825001531609088 https://twitter.com/embed/status/514823058058928128 https://twitter.com/embed/status/514848894107140096 Isn't Blizzard pretty much analyst-proof at this point? — Justin Lacey (@JustNDeviL) September 24, 2014 I guess you could say that Blizzard's cancelled MMO really was… Titanic. — BM Panda (@thebmpanda) September 24, 2014 From our own comments section: The following are all on Blizzard’s Facebook page: From neoGAF: From r/games:
