Interview with Matt Miller and Melissa Bianco

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to make sure you all got the chance to see an interview I did yesterday with Matt Miller and Melissa Bianco about the closure of City of Heroes.

good stuff.

I hope they are able to find some sort of employment very soon. That is valuable talent that is sitting around and will be an asset to any game they have a hand in.

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

One interesting bit you forgot: they were bringing in more money with microtransactions than they ever had without. Food for thought.

Indeed. I noticed that bit too, which makes the decision to close the game down all the more baffling.

Yeah. "Posi's gotta eat" so I don't think he could afford to be in charge of a non salary producing game.

Did you mean the green sunset or Rularuu on the second page? Both are amazingly impactful for very different reasons.

That line about NCsoft dropping Paragon because they didn't feel like running it anymore really pisses me off.

Even though most everything in the article has been was said before in other places with different words,  hearing it again makes me want to break something. >:(
