A lot of people sell their in-game MMO items for real money. It’s sort of common among players of games like World of Warcraft, with some entire accounts netting hundreds (or even thousands!) of dollars for people. Square Enix, however, doesn’t want any of that going on in their Dragon Quest MMO, Dragon Quest X.

So far, the company has “seized” 19.2 million “gold” from being sold and has closed the accounts that were attempting to make some profit from a game they didn’t make. Whoever was buying the gold was probably planning on using it to build a house, buy some land, or get some cool new weapons.

This stuff sounds awfully silly to me! Doesn’t Square Enix have anything better to worry about!?

Cliffy Bleszinski willing to “fix” Resident Evil

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii | 0 comments

Cliffy Bleszinski announced his departure from Epic Games earlier this month. What’s he going to do next? Maybe he can lend his talent to the Resident Evil series – per his own suggestion.

On Twitter a few days ago, Bleszinski tweeted a message to the UK Capcom saying how he’d be willing to “fix” the horror series.

“Hey, Capcom. Call me. We can fix Resident Evil. Together.”

Bleszinski eventually followed up soon after, noting that the “comment was a bit cocky.”

Nintendo on marketing, purposely delayed Wii U launch games to spread out releases

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Satoru Iwata commented on the launches on Wii and 3DS during an investor’s briefing last week, explaining how Wii Sports was critical in spreading the word. The 3DS, on the other hand, wouldn’t be able to resonate as well since “consumers could not experience 3D unless they actually took it in their hands” and advertising couldn’t convey the proper messages.

With Wii U, Nintendo is more than satisfied with pre-orders thus far, but is concerned about supporting the system in the months ahead. So this time around, the company pushed back some of its games intended for launch in order to spread out releases.

Iwata explained:
