WAR: EA Mythic Needed GOA for Euro Launch

In a recent Interview with Eurogamer.net, Paul Barnett speaks about the decision to use GOA for the Warhammer Online European launch. EA may be the parent company, but Barnett feels they "know nothing about launching MMOs in Europe." Besides, GOA has a history already with Mythic Entertainment.

"GOA did it with Dark Age of Camelot and they've done it really well. They've done it in a very European way, but they've done it very well, and it's more of the same," Barnett said of the company's ability to handle the roll-out across multiple regions.

"EA couldn't have done it, what the hell would EA know about it? They know nothing about launching MMOs in Europe, unless it's spending lots of money closing them down I suppose."
