In our daily MMOG Newsletter today we published a story that has received a lot of feedback. We are reposting it here for further comments from WoW players that may not subscribe to our newsletter.
We woke up to a new government here in Canada. Another minority government without the clout to truly govern. History tells me that I'll be writing this same sentence one to two years from now.
I promised to write about the IGE, OGaming, Thottbot and Cosmos connections today. There isn't much I can tell you that some other sites haven't already worked very hard to deduce. It is completely by coincidence that today news of a deal between IGE and Alibaba.com, the Chinese version of EBay, owned 40% by Yahoo, has been stuck allowing IGE to sell MMOG items, etc., on the auction service. Gamasutra.com broke the story.
You can read all the details here: WoW and IGE.
