Move over, MTV, we’re the BBCJanuary 23rd, 2007 |
At this rate, we’re going to see way way more MMO launches by TV channels than by videogame companies in 2007. BBC plans online children’s world, says, well, the BBC.

Uh, so what do the kids do in this world? (I’m guessing it’s not a kid’s diku either.)
And what prevents kids from bypassing BBC’s safeguards and playing runescape instead? (Which has chatting, combat, and stuff to do.)
Not this time, Raph. Auntie Beeb in her infinite wisdom is designing for user-content creation and comparing their design to Second Life.
This means it’s not only got the lowest time to cock of any game yet but it’s also pretty much a buffet for paedophiles. God only knows what they think they’re playing at.
Actually the Guardian and the BBC both managed to mis-report this, entertainingly. CBBCWorld isn’t an MMO as we know it..

Well, painless assuming I discount the mini heart attack loading the site to see a “no posts found”. See, I’m the sort of what could possibly go wrong I don’t need to backup anything kinda guy. But yeah, it all worked out in the end. Now, just to figure out the [...] Source: MMODIG – unbeliever Categories: Bloggers 07:00 Move over, MTV, we’re the BBC At this rate, we’re going to see way way more MMO launches by TV channels than by videogame companies in 2007.

And everyone knows what a Paradox fanboi I am, so clearly I should be raving about this! My initial impressions aren’t that good. It’s UGLY.
