What’s the Big Idea? Launched

What’s the Big Idea? Launched is the business side of the news today, and this one has the usual late-90s mix of studios, publishing deals, lawsuits, money, and big promises.

The important bit: Berkeley Systems, a Sierra company, announced What’s the Big Idea?, the new multiplayer game where great minds think alike, is now officially live on Bezerk and the World Opponent Network (WON). questions are fun, thought provoking, and have no right or wrong answers. The better a player predicts how the other players will answer the faster he or she can climb up the pyramid.

It is not as fun as a new demo, but these moves decide what games actually get made, sold, patched, or buried. Ignore the suits and you miss half the story.
