Turbine Lands $30 Million in Venture Capital

Gamasutra has word that MMOG maker Turbine, developer of AC, AC2, DDO, and MEO, has succeeded in raising another round of venture capital for current and future projects. From the article: "The company has recently been strengthening its publishing and rights hold on its internally-developed products. It assumed complete control of development and publishing on Middle Earth Online, after finalizing a deal with Tolkien Enterprises and VU Games, and also took full control of Asheron's Call from Microsoft following the company's first round of financing. Of Turbine's major new MMO worlds, Dungeons & Dragons Online is due to launch later in 2005, and The Lord Of The Rings: Middle Earth Online will launch some time in 2006."

...MMOG maker Turbine, developer of AC, AC2...

So it was Turbine that came up with all those Anonymous Cowards! I'm going to write them a sternly-worded letter!

(AC2? I shudder to think what Anonymous Coward v2 will be capable of...)
