Q: What's behind the success of the game?
A: The obvious answer is genre because it's superheroes. The dominant force is fantasy. We appeal to people that the other games might not, because we want people to get in and have fun. It's got to be fun. Instead of making game mechanics require people to be online for a long time, we just want people to get in the game and have fun. Our game is simply easy to play. City of Heroes invites a wide variety of people who normally wouldn't be attracted to fantasy games. Fantasy is a niche. Superheroes is a much wider niche.
