Since the first beginnings of the glory days of PC gaming, MMOs have been an influential genre in the success of PC gaming. Games such as World of WarcraftRunescape, EVE Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic are just some examples of the dynamic games that have been major influencers of MMO gaming in the last few years. For the most part, PC and consoles have relatively the same experiences with games. However, when it comes to the MMO genre, the console world has never been able to truly experience what occurs in the PC world.

March 20th marked the release of the newest endeavor by longtime games studio Rare. Sea of Thieves is an open world RPG that puts players into the role of a sea traveling pirate. The style of the game very much mirrors that of the popular genre of MMOs, or Massive Multiplayer Online games. It’s a genre of game that has been one of the most well enjoyed and influential. Despite Sea of Thieves having many aspects of an MMO and being fairly popular, it doesn’t quite get there. The console world still lacks the true MMO experience.
