The lessons of a deceased Mage Knight.

October 12, 2008

We don’t do many post-mortem posts at mendax.org, but perhaps we should start. We say that because things are usually clearer in hindsight, and understanding historical events is a boon to future decision making. That’s why when we commented on the World of Warcraft (WoW) miniatures game the other day, we thought about the interesting [...]

Blizzard should thank Mythic.

October 7, 2008

It’s an accepted fact that competition among companies is good for consumers, as it gives them more options.
