MTV to Invest Over $500 Million in Video Games

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the good-time-to-get-published dept.

Wowzer writes to mention that MTV is planning to invest over $500 million in video games over the next two years. In addition to incorporating games into all new programming plans, MTV is also seeking "ways to link their upcoming game Rock Band to its traditional cable networks and Web properties. But they are fearful of alienating players by cramming TV and other content into the game."

    Welcome to MTV World of Warcraft! Get ready as we put 5 wild and wacky characters in the same instance! The slutty dark elf, the playa rogue, the bigoted dwarf, the impulsive and cah-razy skateboarding fighter, and the drama queen mage. We'll have cameras following their every move as they get into wild and sexy hottub parties, tearful confessions, and drunken brawls with orcs.

    And if that flops we'll have Battlefield 1942 Survivor!
