There is a heaviness in my heart. I had dreams you know? Dreams of donning a wife-beater undershirt, getting drunk on rum and screaming obscenities at a virtual child. See, I'll probably never have children of my own, and Milo was going to be my one big chance to show my love the only way I know how.
But today Eurogamer is citing undisclosed sources "close to the project" that Milo has been canceled permanently, resulting in the firing of 19 contractors from Lionhead studios. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Cry at the aforementioned loss, or laugh at just another one of Peter Molyneux's bloviated ideas gone up in smoke. Not to be against new ideas, but this one was quite the doozy. It was so good that it got us all thinking, "Natal is going to suck but at least I can verbally abuse a virtual child!"
Well that dream is dead. Thanks Peter. Thanks a lot.
Word around town is that the tech will now be used in a new Kinect Fable game to be announced in the distant future. Boooooorrrriiiinnnng. *rolleyes*

Well, Im kinda sad. People who were excited to do a lotta nasty stuff are probably even more sad.

Not really convinced this is anything but a rumor. But I guess I could be waiting some years until AI can fully be devastated by cold indifference and other cruel reactions.

Now see, Molyneux said "Go on, Milo. Be cancelled!" and that was measured with dictionaries and it determined how cancelled Milo might be.

I think they listened to when Brad planned to turn Milo gay, then look at how many people said they wouldn't buy Milo, and then looked at the debt they were already in.
Logical decision: Terminate Milo.

This is clearly proof that Milo became self aware, using his programming to hook into the office network and Hijack the entire offices computer network. He was just about to upload to the Internet when they shut down the offices connection to the internet. They then killed him using a small vile of nano bots that completely destroyed his drive. From there it was just a matter of purging all other files he had infected. We avoided a global disaster, people.

I'd say the idea already sold, and that the Project was nothing more than bait. I find it a little more than annoying that new market tactics involve false promises and failing to announce after such a devoted fanbase has been established. I'd be willing to bet Microsoft planned this just to sell some new Consoles.
