BlizzCon's golden tickets going on sale in two batches

Not So Massively: Release all the MOBA heroes!

Diablo III's auction house 'really hurt the game'
Diablo III's joint in-game gold and real-money auction house has played a fairly major role in the game since its launch. Remember that one time when a guy used the real-money side of things to bank a cool $10,000? That apparently wasn't really what Blizzard foresaw when creating and ...

Not So Massively: SimCity's launch fiasco, Victory's kickstarter
Fresh from its work on End of Nations, developer Petroglyph launched a Kickstarter campaign this week for its own online RTS Victory.
