It has a huge, sandy vagina, which is why so many people here like them.

What?

Oh, I don't know...maybe because Vivendi countersued with a lawsuit threatening the legal existence of software like Steam?

Yes, because four people who were basically forced out of their former jobs makes for a full game development studio, let alone one with the resources and name recognition of Blizzard. :rolleyes:

So what great original properties are in development at Roper's new studio? Those guys left Blizzard over two years ago, and his new studio now has at least NINE former Blizzard employees (so much for your theory that ownership by conglomerates like Vivendi/Universal has no negative effects on these companies; Blizzard sure sounds like a wonderful place to work now). Also, Roper's studio signed a publishing agreement with the PC Games division of Namco almost a year ago, yet no information has been revealed about the game they're working on. Oh, and they're still looking for employees.

So rock on Flagship/Blizzard 2.0! I must be the only person in the world that hasn’t heard anything about your new game, but according to omfgninjas, it’s already on par with Blizzard’s best offerings.

You must be the only person in the world that can ignore years of precedents (see Ion Storm, Ozo Interactive, Click Entertainment, Looking Glass Studios, id Software, etc) and fails to see how fragmenting development teams/studios almost never works out for anyone, especially the consumer. Even just shuffling around a company's internal development teams tends to cause all kinds of problems.

Yeah, I know. My friends were playing Madden and they spent like two hours drafting players, signing free agents, and developing players in training camp drills, and I was all like "WTF? You guys only spend like ten minutes actually playing football. Madden is crap."

What is up with that, EA? Make a good football game already. :rolleyes:

They know it's a success because 11 of the testers have died so far.

Prince of Persia 3 - Now with EA Trax(tm)!!!

That's really just the next logical step after what they did in Prince of Persia 2.

The Prince stands alone, you know.

And I hear you couldn't be more wrong.

Flagship signed a deal with the largest game publisher in Korea; that's it. Link me to some beta impressions then, or any recent news about the game's development, or even anything specifying what kind of game they're making. The only thing that has been confirmed about the game is that it's not a MMORPG.

With Kano's and Bill Gates' dicks already firmly in your ass, it's amazing how you manage to find room to pull these "facts" from of the same place. What exactly are they beta testing? And why would it only be done in Korea?
