Comment In: GDC Austin: Turbine On Why Console MMO Migration Is 'Inevitable' [News - 09/21/2009 - 05:15]

I have to agree with ...

I have to agree with Marty and Kevin. I don't see MMOs moving away from PCs any time soon. They don't play well and you need a keyboard. Most console players don't want to add anymore buttons than what are on their controllers. The types of games that would lend ...

This is the kind of ...

This is the kind of model I've been thinking about for an MMORPG for awhile now. Subscription and free play. The question becomes whether they can make the micro translation prices worth it. I feel that most games charge too much items that aren't worth what people are paying for. ...

Comment In: Bonus Feature: 'Collaborative Game Editing' [News - 05/21/2009 - 05:48]
