The videos I've seen show a more polished game than Warhammer Online has ever been, but it's still EA and Mythic suits in charge of the development. Same people who managed to kill off the Warhammer Online game before it even got started.
"Why Warhammer Failed" It's an interesting read and too many other bloggers (some not even anonymous) are saying the same thing for it to be entirely untrue.
Also an interesting story is the blog entry that inspired the above blog:
"EA: The Human Story" Edit: Should be noted that the last story is five years old and EA has since then been forced to change their methods of handling "crunches" (deadline rushes). Newly employed software engineers (developers) are now classified as hourly employed artists and get paid for overtime.
