Blizzard on DRM & Their Next MMOG

Mike Morhaime on DRM, WoW and the Next MMO on Wired.com is a conversation with the Blizzard CEO and co-founder conducted during BlizzCon that covers a range of topics, including those highlighted in the article's title. On DRM for Diablo III and StarCraft II, Mike says this: "Those are things we’re still evaluating, but we do wanna make it pretty easy for players to play the game, wherever they are. Nowadays people have multiple systems. They shouldn't necessarily be able to play the game ... they shouldn’t be able to log in multiple times on as many computers as they have without buying multiple copies of the game. Like, you can play WarCraft III, or World of Warcraft even, from multiple locations. I think you should be able to do that." As for their secretive "other" MMORPG. Mike lays to rest rumors that this will be a World of Warcraft sequel: "So let’s just say it’s going to be different and it’s not going to be a sequel to World of Warcraft. It will be different. We’re not trying to replace World of Warcraft with this new MMO. We’re trying to create a different massively multiplayer experience, and hopefully World of Warcraft will still be going strong when that one is released."
