NASA Cuts MMO Budget from 3 Millions to... 0

Nasa has asked MMO developers to develop NASA-themed MMO for free... Its commitmen will now be restricted at providing subject matter experts. Their new approach will be more along the lines of providing an IP that developers will be able to exploit along the lines of what is going on in Hollywood. More about this in Gamasutra (click here for full story).

This decision implies - of course - the need for developers to find new business models for their serious games. Here's an interesting post about the subject on elianealhadeff.blogspot.com.
