The Best MMORPGs We Want To See On Consoles In 2019
Playing MMORPGs on the PC will always be the best way to play. There, got that out of the way. In today’s world, MMO studios would be foolish to think that’s enough. World of Warcraft aside, making use of other platforms like consoles does a lot of good. Not only does it expands the reach of the game to a new playerbase, it also offers longevity and revenue opportunity. Games like TERA, FFXIV, Elder Scrolls Online and now Black Desert Online, have all capitalized on this to great success.
