    "Yes, it's a luxury that we are doing well and we can afford to make the decision. I didn't make the decision lightly because it's effectively cost us tens of millions of pounds. Maybe more."

    "It's crucial to me we don't just ship a title because we've built it."

    Taken from Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard announcement about canceling MechScape.

    Simon Seefeldt, the company's head of business development added Jagex's next game will appear sometime in 2010.

    Wasted a ton of money, but better that they release a good game that will attract lots of players (potentially payers too) than releasing a bad game that won't attract anyone.
