I thought those were HAL?

EDIT: One of them was a different flagship, apparently.

Whoa, that's crazy. Just last night I was watching Electronic Playground and they were discussing what happened to one of the main Blizzard guys, and how he left to co-found this company.

Actually, they shoulda started with a Wii game, or a few Wii games to build up capital, then moved into a PS3/360/PC single player FPS or two, building reputation and excitement, while quietly in the background working on more Wii games, DS games, and Hellgate London. Eventually, when WoW does down, and a serious amount of time after D3 comes out, then, and only then, do you launch your polished MMO.

Of course, lol, hindsight's 20/20.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

They are PC developers. Not every dev needs to make Wii games to start out. That's the dumbest logic ever. What they should have done is made Hellgate better.

So you want them to wait probably 5+ more years just to release an MMO game after WoW dies and D3 is out a long time? Have you ever worked in a business? Try running an idea like that by the financial people or your boss for that matter.



Had to change my sig to get some moderator to quit bitching about it......

Forget "better". What they should have done is released a version of Hellgate that actually worked. The launch was one of the biggest disasters in recent memory.
