Fromwiller developed the add-on as a method of killing time during long raids and farming sessions, but it wasn't too long before PopCap caught wind of the MMO mini-game. Instead of issuing a timely cease and desist, the casual gaming colossus hired Fromwiller to create a more polished version of the application.</p></blockquote> <p>Great move by Popcap.</p> <p>(Via <a href="http://www.wonderlandblog.com/wonderland/" target="_blank">Wonderland</a>.)</p> <p></p>casual-gameGamespopcapwowhttps://www.intelligent-artifice.com/2008/09/bejeweled-in-wow.htmlMon, 22 Sep 2008 01:50:45 GMT
