Auntie Beeb and the MMOG
Gamestop reports on a talk that Alice Taylor (a very fine person indeed) gave at the Women in Games event in Wales. Aside from public services games like Food Force (or maybe Lost and Found?), Alice mentioned that the media giant will be dipping into Massively Multiplayer gaming.
Specifically, it is working on a number of “top-secret” game projects which will be announced over the coming months. These include a series of games for education, a massively multiplayer online title for a new program by the Teletubbies creators, radio and TV show tie-ins, and “some independent ideas. This past week, BBC Worldwide vice president of digital content Alice Taylor was a presenter at the fourth Women In Games Conference at the University of Wales. There, she told attendees that gaming is one of the areas where the BBC could become more relevant to younger generations, and keep up with “the radical shift in media consumption.” Taylor stated that “public service money comes from the people and should be spent on the form of content most relevant to them.”
