Blogger A makes an interesting post. Blogger B responds with his own slant. Blogger C leads the discussion in a new direction. And then Blogger B comes back around and puts a cap on it all. In this case, Tom Chick pointed out <a href="http://fidgit.com/archives/2009/01/five-ways-mmos-are-broken.php">five things that are broken with MMOs</a> (interesting because he doesn't really like MMOs). Scott Jennings responded by saying <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/01/28/five-big-failings-of-the-mmo-genre-and-a-rebuttal-to-same/">not all MMOs are WoW</a>. Tim Dean then supported Tom's original statements, offering <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/02/03/if-its-broken-then-fix-it/">ten ways to fix MMOs</a>. Now Scott has come back around to <a href="http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/03/fixing-mmos-is-hard/">comment on Tim's list from a game developer's perspective</a>.<br /><br />Normally this wouldn't seem like a big deal, but you must consider the vast amount of <a href="http://fidgit.com/about.php">combined</a> <a href="http://www.brokentoys.org/about-2/">industry</a> <a href="http://www.tremblinghand.net/2008/08/about.html">experience</a> all three parties have. Oh, and their points are actually pretty darn good too. You should check out <a href="http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/03/fixing-mmos-is-hard/">this ongoing saga</a> and weigh in on the conversation by adding a comment on any of their blogs. That's another great thing about this media platform.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/02/04/scott-jennings-puts-a-cap-on-the-whole-fixing-mmos-thing/">Scott Jennings puts a cap on the whole "Fixing MMOs" thing</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:00:00 EST.
