Tags: Flagship StudiosHollywood Reporter has posted something entitled Blizzard's days of uncertainty drain off talent, which mentions that they're having to cancel projects as well as developers leaving to form Castaway Entertainment and Flagship Studios. Here's a bit from Bill Roper:
Flagship's Roper says, "It's just too early to talk openly about our current project, although we've been discussing it with practically every major publisher you can think of (except Vivendi) for the last six months. Our goal is to concentrate on producing the game, and then let a publishing partner worry about shipping the boxes."
Roper says his nine-person team's experience is in "making big games which cost a considerable chunk of change. If we self-publish, we might have to limit our scope to some degree." Flagship's plan is to partner with a publisher that's used to shipping 2 million to 3 million units.
That rules out Interplay then.
