not that this really says one thing or another about the quality of the end product but the approach of the two companies is completely different. also, Vanguard was overhyped by a lying lead dev with a messiah-complex who was more invested in his own reputation than in making a good game.
in the end, the game will have to speak for itself. i'll buy it because funcom is making it, the way many people bought vanguard because Brad McQuack was making it. if it sucks, I'll be the first to say so but at the moment I haven't seen any reasons to worry.
