Interesting Blizzard news

[Raelynn]

I read that the actual quote was regarding Vivendi's future focus on MMO's, in particular new games under a revived Sierra brand, not specifically Blizzard franchises. If I can find the article, I'll post it.

After reading this article, IGN really messed it up. There was supposedly a quote from a Vivendi rep that all Blizzard franchises would become MMOGs (note...not MMORPGs...just MMOGs).

The thing about funding for a new game within the next 3 years isn't true though. It just states that they have a model that they claim can produce an MMOG in 3 years for $50 million.

Lastly, the interesting thing they're doing is splitting MMOGs into length of time based sections, short and longer than 2-hour play sessions. As Rinn said, there will be several short session games coming out from the Sierra Online brand. One is a basketball game.
