In terms of money lost, FFXIV probably wins, just that Realtime Worlds had far less money to lose before they were forced to fold entirely

Hopefully Square Enix doesn't sink too too much into this, otherwise they'll have to merge with Bandai Namco and Tecmo Koei to form the Japanese Game Company xD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Then SE will be polluted with people who manage to make even worse business decisions than they do!

FF XIV itself vs. uh...some other game?

FF XIV is definitely the biggest flop this year. Just be happy it's not FF XIII.

lol your post sounds like you think I actually care about FFXIV.

No I don't...but APB is STILL the bigger bomb.

APB cost $100 Million to make and shut down within 6 months of launching.....how is it not the biggest bomb of this year I'd like someone to justify that to me.

All Points Bulletin, MMO by Crackdown developer Realtime Worlds, which basically was Crackdown online (at least in the shortest possible terms), but tanked to the point that it fell and Realtime Worlds fell along with it

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

My pick would be FFXIV. However I am happy that SE does know that they made a mistake and are trying to change things around.

In terms of expectations and it being FF XIV, I'd say FF XIV is still the bigger bomb.

At least FFXIV can improve....APB can't....its $100 Million down the drain forever.

APB, because it cost over $100 million and probably didn't even sell 500k. It also caused it's developer, Realtime Worlds, to die. FFXIV comes a close second.
