Blizzard
COO Says New MMO ‘Significantly Different’ From Warcraft on Wired.com hears
once again from Paul Sams COO of Blizzard, who answered questions about various
topics at BlizzCon. The conversation covers several projects, but highlights
Sams' comments about Blizzard's mysterious other MMORPG, saying it will be
different enough from World of Warcraft that it probably won't cannibalize a lot
of the WoW user-base: "I think the (new MMO) is going to be significantly
differentiated enough," he says. "Such that, you’re not going to feel like
they’re one and the same resulting in that you have to pick or choose." Of
course if it comes to that, they will live with it, as he also says: "If the bad
thing that happens to us is that they leave WoW and go to this other thing of
Blizzard’s, then we’ll work through that pain."
