He talks a fair amount about City of Heroes and Villains, and Champions Online here.

Well, that was interesting; thank you!

I wish some editor would someday ask him if he and/or any company he works/has worked for really did try to buy CoX after it was shuttered, and what ever came of that effort if there ever was any.

Indeed, thanks for sharing that! I probably would have never have seen that otherwise!

It's definitely an interesting read, and while I have my own differences with some of his previous viewpoints (and probably current) it was still a good read on the thoughts behind things.

I had no idea he was chief of DCUO online currently. If he could somehow bring it closer to Co* gameplay-wise, it could only get better from it. I played it for quite a while after the City went dark, but it never quite satisfied my 'fix' and eventually dropped off. Anyone know if it has gotten better in the past few years?

Thanks for the article post.  As I was reading I am remembering all the different instances concerning CoH/CoV and Champions... and heard from one of my Super Group mates that he was working on multiple items.. and thought:  'isn't he spreading himself thing?  I wish the development team would focus attention on cleaning and improving content in their main platform instead of introducing a new game' 

But maybe that was just me and a few other individuals...

Well, that was interesting; thank you!

I agree, an explanation of what really went down would be very nice.  I can't say for certain.. but I'm guessing if his ego was as big as he says.. that may have played a role

Maybe it was a social faux pas, like using the wrong chopstick to eat Sake.

Which chopstick would you use to eat sake?
