*revives thread*
PC > consoles in FPS, (some) RPG, definitely MMO, and definitely RTS

and 40k MMO wouldn't work, because considering the background how do you 1) progress the ranks/story 2) balance the classes at least somewhat
we all know everyone wants marines, and in MMO there's no way to use guard "numbers" to an advantage, because each guard is a player not a squad. Balance issues would be huge. It's not a case of "ok healers dont do damage and tanks dont do healing so its balanced" its a case of "guards players shoot ppl and wear armour. Space marines shoot people 100x better and wear 100x better armour". Include other races into that and it will be a mess. Not include other races and it will be hugely disappointing

problems such as that prohibit a successfull (both economic and gameplay wise) MMORPG made for 40k.

FANTASY is much easier because the way you can actuall pick classes and ranks and progress.
