Couple quotes from the article:

It is using big brands such as Game of Thrones to get an edge with its free-to-play online games.

he company will show a sneak peek of the game, a browser-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (an MMORPG that doesn’t require a long download) at the upcoming Game Developers Conference next week in San Francisco.

Work on the game began last summer and a closed beta test is planned for the fall of 2012. Bigpoint has more than 250 million registered users. Last year, investors Summit Partners and TA Associates bought a majority stake in Bigpoint for $350 million in a deal that valued Bigpoint at $600 million. Bigpoint has more than 800 employees now.

What morons, right? What kind of idiots think they have a viable business model with a free to play browser based game. Don't they know they need to charge a minimum $15 a month for access, and that just for text. They'll never get big and play with the big boys unless they charge enough to scare away most players. The fools, hahahaha

I think they released a PC game for it, but I recall it being regarded as a disappointment.

Unless I can rape a disemboweled animal in front of a 6-year old girl this will not have the GoT flavor I require.

Was that in the HBO series or the book? I have not read/watched either.

Genesis was pretty bad, from what I've been reading. I still kinda want to play it though just because of the setting.

You don't want to play it. That game is irredeemable GARBAGE.
