Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    Why the fuck does everything have to be an MMO these days? Not that it would be impossible for Star Trek to make an interesting MMO, but it's obvious this is going to be pretty much the same formula as every MMO out there.

    Same with the terrible looking Stargate MMO; I'm not a huge SG fan but I would love a squad based single player game based in the Stargate story with a story that feels like one of the episodes. As long as they keep the humour and action from the series, that would kick ass. But no, they have to turn it into another generic grind.

    Well, I knew that was the reason, I guess

    But I'm not happy about it

    I should just go back and play those old Interplay Star Trek adventure games, they were pretty awesome

    Blizzard Loots $1.2 Billion From 2007, Thanks To Wow

    Date 01/31/2008.
     
      Vivendi, of which Blizzard Entertainment is a division, released its 2007 earnings revenues today, revealing that the World of Warcraft publisher raked in $1.2 billion (€814 million) in revenue last year. WoW's 10 million large subscriber base contributed the lion's share of the Vivendi Games division's $1.5 billion take (€1.018 billion). Blizzard's revenue was up 58% year over year which can be attributed to strong sales of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and a subscriber boost of 2 million people.
      Vivendi pointed to lower earnings from its Sierra label, with sales of Crash of the Titans, Spyro: The Eternal Night, F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, Timeshift and World in Conflict as "not as strong as the 2006 release slate." Let's hear it for World of Warcraft, ladies and gentlemen!

    expect this trend to stay around for a loooong time as folks try to grab pieces of the pie like that

    At least Blizzard are still doing quality single player games as well

    If it weren't for them and Will Wright, I'd be ready to give up PC gaming for good

    Dude, I was spinning hyperbole

    It's just when I think of the games that are coming out in the near future that I'm looking forward to, Spore is the only one I can think of that's exclusive to PC

    There are probably more, you're right

    But Spore isn't exclusive to the PC.

    It's because you're all above the mentality of a 3 year old, which is more than you can say for most gaia posters.
