Title Removed By [Company Name Removed]
November 20th, 2006
Matt Mihaly, who is among the few paying attention to a game you probably never heard of that makes a LOT of money, posted a story about how they sent legal threats to a site that charges for gold-farming guides.
That company (whom I am carefully not naming!) sent a very nicely worded request to Matt to remove, as best as I can determine, the name of the person who sent that email.
That person being part of that company’s Online Community team. And, presumably. You know. Talking. To the community. Using his, you know. Name. And stuff.
I’m pretty sure I’m not making up any of this.
That’s more than a little odd.
As a matter of fact, a *lot* of people are paying attention to Runescape from an economic standpoint, if not a creative one.
I can’t seem to break this code…
Something to be said about a game that starts out free, and then has a very low price to get those 13 year olds addicted. My little brother used to play it, and I gave him shit about it non-stop.
