I Couldn't have put it better myself! Though you left out Funcom main intentions for AOC being a console MMO.
If it was intended to be a console MMORPG, they would have released the game on the Xbox first.
The game WAS designed for consoles. It's just that they decided to go with both, and used the PC players to beta test their game.
As for the comic, 10/10
The console version is nothing more than a port and will probably be dumbed down due to space issues. The game was not changed or dumbed down for a console like so many people would like to believe.

no, it was changed and dumbed down because either their investors started getting pushy or they just realized that all the in game features they had planned were beyond their means.
so they had a meeting and made a list of features and classes even that could be removed to enable the game to be launched in a somewhat playable state.
in about a year when they've put in those features the game will be deep enough and well rounded enough to be worth people spending money on.
Were I a high up at Funcom I would pick one or two of the people in your comic and publicly fire them. I would blame everything on them and state that I was lied to about the state of the game for launch. I would then offer a public apology and give all players another free month. I would also give all launch subscribers a 10$ off Funcom coupon for when the expansion comes out or to use on game time.
Then maybe the fans would be appeased. Based on these boards though the person(s) fired may need to be publicly sacrificed and disemboweled to appease the masses.

Your ideas intrigueme. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Yeah, Smed is absolutely wonderful there - appearing like the Saviour from behind a cloud... That horrible PR photo of his with halo-like effect on the blue background is teh awesomez! Reminds me of those seedy little religious pics that you're supposed to carry around in your wallet and look at when you're feeling down...

lol!
I think that is the only picture of Smedley in existance though!
Umm..Sorry I haven't read all of the pages, but I don't think it's that funny. I never played Conan, and don't really care about the state that it's in, but the comic just isn't funny. It doesn't really have many jokes and relies too heavily on that l33t speak to make it funny. Hey, that's just my opinion though. At least they're accurate.

You have to know the game to really understand why it is so funny. Trust me on this...if you've played the game...you'd be LYAO.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! OMG. I've been playing the game since EA, and I was laughing so hard when I read this. It's like my thoughts exactly on the game, but in comic form lol. That was great.

How can you laugh at a joke if you know nothing of the topic buddy?

i don't think that is 1337 5p34|< (leet speak) - You see those mispellings and general poor quality of english in mmos everyday.
i also wonder if you know who all those people are and have followed the developement of age of conan over the years.
it's fine that you didn't find it funny, but perhaps for the wrong reasons...
Well I've been browsing these forums a lot as a spectator. I know that it wasn't released ready, and there's no end game content etc. etc. What I'm saying is that they're sort of just stating facts and disguising them as "funny" behind the l33t speak.
*Edit* I don't mean to argue semantics, I'm just using the term l33t speak as a general term for that kind of typing. Call it whatever you want.

...or you have to be about 12 years old to still find l33tspeak funny. I've played the game, I've seen the bugs, I've suffered the lag, I've been booted from the server, whatever. Replace l33t with normal words and all its "comedic gold" value is gone. Try again.

ROFL!! Teala, you naughty girl you. Ya just couldn't refrain from rubbing salt in the wound on their home turf, eh?
By the way, comic is 100/10.
