It's called "Being Blizzard Entertainment: Bill Roper on business, fun and everything else." The article covers the discussion Rob de los Reyes had with Bill Roper on games emerging into the mainstream, the international success of Blizzard games like StarCraft, Blizzard's relationship with their fans and a bit about Roper himself. Here's a snip: Beyond MMORPGs, Roper says, “I’m still addicted to GTA 3 because it’s so open.” He’s referring to Grand Theft Auto 3, the Congressional icon for all that is wrong with video games. And, oh-by-the-way, the worldwide best-selling game of 2001. “It’s one of the best-designed games of recent times regardless of platform,” he adds. In fact, Roper says the best thing is to play both Grand Theft Auto 3 and Dark Age of Camelot at the same time. “I like to drive around in GTA 3 while I’m riding a horse [in Dark Age of Camelot].” Looking ahead, Roper says that after seeing Nintendo’s lineup at the E3 trade show, he’s thinking about buying a GameCube.
