Gaia Online CEO Interview With Craig Sherman

Posted June 18th, 2008 by Padma "LadyLotus" Fuller

We found a new interview with Gaia Online's CEO Craig Sherman. He talks about Gaia the virtual world and the upcoming MMOg additon that will be going into beta phase soon.

Here is a snippet of the interview:
"From my point of view, we took a virtual world and online hangout with the society and self-expression tools, the core of Gaia, and added in an MMOG experience," explained CEO Craig Sherman. "In that context it’s richer and more sophisticated than traditional MMOGs. It’s less so than the hardcore games in some ways—it’s not in 3D—but still more social. Using the game is an excuse to hangout with your friends, but with a point.

There are very few teen, great, casual, beautiful, non-violent games in the MMO space," he explained. "There’s a hole they saw and wanted filled. I think the people that build the games are, in their hearts, hardcore. They build something that works for them, that’s extremely violent or high fantasy, men-in-tights stuff. Gaia is an alternate reality with a very reverent style and voice. That’s something that I think is more appealing to the younger group."
