yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don't have the money to play this game, and left it

but that wasn't bethesda-- still origin at that point

It ain't even Bethesda's now. EA bought them, not Bethesda, or ZeniMax, or Microsoft.

there was some point in the not too distant past where i said "ok, everything is bullshit now" and stopped paying attention. ultima is EA now? ok. fuck EA, and fuck ultima

Yep. And their management is ultimately what led Richard Garriot to quit.

As a child their games where always too difficult for me, so I preferred Lucas Arts adventures but looking back at them now they had some real gems. Games with... soul

ah lucas arts-- both grim fandango and xwing will always occupy a place in my heart

UO was pretty popular and good up until EA bought Origin in 2004.
