Extremely interesting watch.  I enjoyed it.

 

Awesome how they started and a good thing to everyone involved that they did not join Interplay.  I highly doubt Interplay would have allowed them as much autonomy as Davidson and Associates.

How ironic that this would be the one year that has an absolute blank schedule in their release calender.

they didn't release any retail games in 05-06 or 09 ether, 05-06 were because just abou the intire company was working on wow patches and The Burning Crusade tho. And there is a slim chance that Diablo will launch this year... VERY slim lol.

It is a good watch. I played both their SNES racing games. Own Rock and Roll Racing. Im not a RTS fan so other than that I have only played WoW and Diablo 1-2.

Depends on how you look. In Europe and Australia, WoW is 2005. But then it leaves 2004 empty

I forgive them for 2005-6 because WOW screwed them up bad, it was like a death trap and they needed time to heal the mortal wounds. As for 2009... well at least beta for SC2 happen right off the bat in 2010... SC2 was meant to be a 2009 release but was pushed back because it wasn't ready afterall :p
