Bioware Developing an MMOG

Gamasutra reports that Canadian developer Bioware has opened a studio in Austin, Texas. The new studio will be the base of operations for development of an as yet unnamed MMORPG. From the article: "Joining the Austin team as lead designer is James Ohlen, BioWare's creative director, whose previous credits include lead or co-lead design roles on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. Also leading the BioWare Austin team are MMO veterans Richard Vogel and Gordon Walton." That's some serious firepower. Can't wait to hear what that's about.

I'll never switch...

They did it for the food.

Bioware just likes good eats. They have maple syrup, beer, and putin (sp?) in Vancouver, now they'll have Barbeque Ribs, Barbeque shrimp, Barbeque Steaks, Barbeque Pork Loin....etc

Now they just need to start a development house in Wisconsin for some cheese, brats, and uh... cheese.... and they'll be all set!

The "mistake" spawned like 6 million subscriptions, growing the MMO market by 1000%. I'm sure they will try to avoid it.

Don't eat Putin

Poutine is fries with cheese curds and gravy. Russia will be upset if you eat Putin.
