Video Games Blogger is reporting ... er ... blogging ... er ... whatever, that Blizzard will create MMOGs out of all its franchises. The direct quote, "All Blizzard franchises will become MMOGs." came during an analyst presentation by Vivendi Universal. Vivendi also claims they can bang out a MMOG in a mere three years for $50 million. Some other boogely was about the various segments of the MMOG market is also available. Starcraft and Diablo are obvious candidates for a MMOG makeover, but what else is there?

[Q --start chirinea wrote--]What about The Lost Vikings and Blackthorn? [/Q --end chirinea wrote--]
The Lost Vikings already made an appearance in World of Warcraft if you can find them.
I guess there's room for Blackthorn to expand, but is it really considered a 'series' at this point? I'd rather have a MMO Rock and Roll Racing, but I can't see how that would work :)

Wow, so what else is there besides those really small ones. Out of the big three, Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft, two of those are already MMOG's!!! We all expected World of Starcraft to be coming out, ANY game company, not just Blizzard, would never live without milking THAT cash cow $$$.
So what does that leave? Diablo and World of Warcraft are already MMO's, Starcraft is sure to come no matter what. Justice League Task Force MMO? Rock n' Roll Racing?????
God, what other possible series are they talking about!? There's only three!

Seriously I don't really see any free space there for Diablo. Blizzard should make Diablo 3 more progaming oriented. You know tournaments ready or something, just like StarCraft and Warcraft. They're all being played on WCG or something, Diablo 2 isn't. Instead of making an MMO, they should concentrate on creating a nice, well balanced pvp platform.
