Interview with Mark Jacobs
|
From GameDaily comes this little chat with Mark Jacobs, whom a few of you might know as the founder and CEO of Mythic Entertainment--and soon to be head of EA's MMO department. He comments on the merger and aspects of the MMO market, business models, and the like.
"THR: Do you think that's one of the reasons why EA chose to buy Mythic?
Jacobs: I think that's exactly what they thought. They needed some outside help and they turned to a studio that produced the single most successful independent online game of all time, at least in North America and Europe.
THR: Meaning "Dark Age Of Camelot?"
Jacobs: Right. No other independent studio has had the same level of success that we did. All the other MMOGs -- including WOW -- came from studios owned by larger publishers. And that was attractive to EA."
