Blizzard goes MMOnly?

[Rob Williams]

"All Blizzard franchises will become MMOGs."

All. They claim they have a model now to develop an MMOG in 3 years for $50 million. WoW cost 50 million euros and took 4 1/2 years.

To be honest, I hate that fact. I loved Starcraft and Warcraft single player. To go MMO "only" won't hurt the game as evidenced by WoW, but damn.

Well, I hope this doesn't hurt Blizzard. The only thing I can say is that more games are going to require a monthly fee, which I don't like. When I buy the game I want to play the game, not keep paying to play. If they follow the current path, each game will have it's own monthly fee, which mommy and daddy will pay for... Great...
