Dev defends its controversial MMO.
SEE Virtual Worlds is turning Michael Jackson into an MMO – but what would the late, great pop star say if he were alive today?
“I think he would be… You know, it’s hard – I don’t want to get caught too much in trying to speak for him, that would be out of taste,” VP of production and development Josh Gordon told Eurogamer. “But I can tell you that we have looked very, very hard at what he presented to the public and what he brought to our world really – to everyone in the world. Our focus is very much on maintaining that vision and not trying to radically diverge from the fantastical world and super-pop iconic stuff that he brought.
“So my hope is that he would look at this and say, ‘This is exactly what I would have envisioned and want to play and do.’ That’s the best we can do: take what he left, the legacy, and try to realise it.”
