OGaming's NCSoft Q&A talks with Jeremy Gaffney about NCsoft's presence in the North American MMOG market: "Let’s face it - you can count the number of successful MMOs that have come out in the last two years on one hand, so there I wouldn’t say there is a great resurgence. What I would say is that there has been a winnowing of the market so that there are fewer MMO publishers, but the games that are coming out are at a higher quality. Making MMOs is an expensive and time consuming venture, so it’s not a business for everyone. NCsoft now has four top-notch games on the market, which represents a pretty high margin, so if there is any resurgence it is being driven by NCsoft. With the worldwide success of games like Lineage 2 and World of Warcraft, you’ll probably see a lot more people coming into the space again – but doing these right and competing with the Big Boys is very difficult – and expensive!"
