Mythic's Mark Jacobs has trashed Bobby's Kotick's estimation that it would take $1 billion to compete with World of Warcraft, describing his posturing as "nonsense."

“When certain people throw out ridiculous numbers, you know they’re throwing out ridiculous numbers because they want to scare off competition or they want to make themselves seem invincible and that sort of nonsense,” he told MTV.

“Realistically, if you’re going into this space for the first time, and you want to compete with WoW and you want to compete with us — because we’re going into that same space — you’ve got to make sure that you have at least 100 million dollars.”

Warhammer Online has now gone gold and will ship in September. More through the link.
