Marvel MMO Deal with Gazillion

I am not an MMO guy, but I know a number of people on this site are. It was just announced that Marvel signed a 10-year deal with a new gaming company called Gazillion that gives Gazillion the ability to use any of Marvel's characters/properties for a MMO game. My brother works at Gazillion and is the one that did this deal - it is a big deal from a gaming standpoint. So anyway, below is a link to an article with some info about the deal, etc. if you are interested.

Seems like i've been hearing about a Marvel MMO for at least 3 years. There's almost no point in developing it now for the 360 since we'll see the next xbox probably Nov 2010 if not 2011 but still, they're on the tail end of the lifecycle of the console. With the money it takes to make an MMO, seems pointless to me to release it for the 360 if they can even get it finished before the console is replaced.

I have this image of a raid group consisting of 15 Deadpools, 8 Wolverines and one Dr Strange that someone paid to join because they needed a healer.

wait I thought about this for 2 seconds and I realized that I picked 2 characters who wouldn't even need a healer. D'oh! I am such a geek.

Tank - I am pretty sure this MMO (at least the first one) will be for PC rather than console. I don't know what they really have in mind for console games, as I know their initial focus was/is on PC MMO stuff.
