Overheard@GDC09: Curt Schilling half-jokingly wishes he'd made a simpler game

by Alexander Sliwinski { Mar 24th 2009 at 7:05PM }

Curt Schilling may not have revealed any new information about Copernicus -- really, nothing new there -- but he's had reservations about choosing the MMO genre for the premiere title of his 38 Studios. Speaking with Adam Sessler on stage during the inaugural GamesBeat conference, he admitted, "There have been times in the past 24 months where I've thought to myself 'What the hell was I thinking?!' I should have made a first-person shooter."

He definitely should have made "insert genre here" rather than an MMO.

Rich guy thinks "ooh I like video games, I wanna make one. I like playing WoW, lets make an MMO."

Rich guy throws lots of money at famous artists/writers/developers.

Rich guy comes comes to the realisation that it's not quite as simple as that as he watches his fortune dwindle with nothing to show for it...
