City Of Heroes: Forbes.com: "Ordinary Hero"

Greetings, City of Heroes fans! An interesting CoH related article on Forbes.com was forwarded to me by Circeus, a fellow CoH Warcry staffer. The article profiles Michael Lewis, Cryptic Studios' CEO, as well as discusses the CoH phenomenon and its humble roots. Here's a snippet:

Heroes is one of the fastest-growing online games ever, the online world's equivalent of such out-of-nowhere hits as Harry Potter in books and The Blair Witch Project in film. Lewis, who reaped $17 million selling a graphics-chip company a few years ago, figures Cryptic will be profitable by early 2005. "We're 30% over my wildest dreams," [Lewis] says.
