Today’s Edition Of Developer vs Developer (DvD)
Broken Toys — ... I’m trying to cut down on the Warhammer stories, really, but then I see links to media interviews or posts and I can’t help myself. It’s got all the drama of Dawn, but surrounding an actual fun game. How can a blogger resist! Anyway, in today’s media clipping, Mark Jacobs smacktalks back at the Blizzard boys. ...

Stating the obvious, but this time it’s official.
Hardcore Casual — ... Not to toot my own horn but…. Beep Beep. Self pat on the back asshattery aside, it’s a good interview and sheds some light on Mythic’s stance with WAR and it’s future.

You’d have to ask him, but certainly that seemed to be the way he was coming across and I find that kind of funny. I play multiple MMOs… the idea that you only play one is really kind of silly. Hey bud, that only works when you don’t have standard $15.00/month MMO subscriptions.  There’s a reason SOE’s Station ...

Blog Posts from "WAAAGH!" - Gameriot.com — ... In the middle of the recent WoW Dev-vs-WAR Dev fracas (that is, actually, the first time I’ve ever written that word in my life), Mark Jacobs said to Games Industry, “One of the things about MMOs is that people play multiple games… people may play WoW and they’ll play WAR and maybe even a third game at the same time.” ...

Multiple MMORPGs?
NecroRogIcon — This topic went 'round the blogosphere a few months back, but I'm revisiting it because the situation on the ground has changed. ...
