Yeah, it's just completely amazing to me that they're still actively trying to turn around. I honestly don't know what they're thinking.
The damage has been done and the game just has a pitiful reputation and that isn't going to change easily. Even if the PS3 version got released and reviewed seperately people would still that 40-something average for the PC version and think something is up. There's also the added bonus of people don't really play MMO's on the consoles and even if they did they'd probably play a better one like DCUO.
Even looking at their project plan, it's still pretty pointless for them to go on.

At first glance it does look like they have a plan and they're getting things done but then you actually read the individual items and you realize they don't really have a clue what they're doing. This game has to easily be the biggest screw up of the generation. If it just released bad and they were done with it, I wouldn't say that, but the fact they're trying to hard to keep it alive is just so bad.
