Matt Firor Interview

Players Don’t Like New Game Features on The MMO Gamer is a conversation with Matt Firor of ZeniMax Online Studios, discussing the refinement of the MMOG, as opposed to adding new features. Another interesting topic of the conversation is his opinion that too many MMOGs take the PC-centric route of over-emphasizing hardware: "Even if the game isn’t hard core, the fact that they’re PC based and the fact that you almost always need some crazy graphics card to play them - like, say, Age of Conan - it’s like you’re restricting your user base so much by doing that. And WoW has shown that you don’t need high graphics capability on your computer to have a great looking game and I don’t know why people, or developers, try to aim for the Crysis market with MMOs because it’s two totally different things. Crysis players can spend lots of money on their PCs, but MMO players - you want a large user base."
