I stand corrected. Electronic Arts did not put out World of Warcraft.
They put out, among other things, The Sims, Rock Band, and the later
games of the Command and Conquer series.
Battle through 9 circles of Sim Hell?
And you can Twitter from there.

You'd also get Virgil as a spunky heathen sidekick, and comical
noises when Dante steps on the faces of the damned (accidentally, of
course).
See, now I'm scared. This is way too do-able.

Oh. No.
This makes me want to find a way to extend copyright out to
eternity, just to prevent this kind of thing. I'm sure Disney's
attorneys could find a way to do that, but only if they get the
rights to do La Divina Commedia as a cartoon with a princess -
Beatrice, of course - and lots of cute animals...
And I suppose that's better than having Paradiso done up in heavy
metal...
Argh. At least World of Warcraft has no pretensions.

“It’s a highbrow/lowbrow project by design,” Mr. Knight said. “If
you know the poem, the game has a lot to offer. If you just want to
mash buttons and kill demons, that’s all it has to be for you.”
Why didn't I think of that?
