Blizzard Acquires Swingin' Ape Studios

Gamasutra.com has the news that well known development house Blizzard has acquired Swingin' Ape Studios, the company currently working on the StarCraft:Ghost console title. From the article: "The acquisition of Swingin' Ape Studios takes us one step closer to realizing our goal of becoming a top-tier console developer...With Swingin' Ape's talented designers, programmers, and artists, we're confident we'll be able to create console games that meet the quality standards we've established for every Blizzard title."

I lost interest in this title long ago. When I first read that Blizzard was doing a console game I thought Great! Finally a developer is going to do RTS proper for my Xbox. Then I found out it was going to be some 3rd or 1st person, stealth-action type thing and they started to lose me. I wish they would have stuck to their bread-and-butter and figured out a way to bring the original Starcraft experience to the consoles. Maybe Bungie will do us all a favor and reimagine Myth for Xbox.

Sorry, but Bungie lost the rights to the Myth franchise to Take 2 when they were bought by Microsoft, and good luck getting those guys to do anything worthwhile. View Myth III for evidence.
