This isn't true at all. I play several MMOs. But they aren't made by the same company or even in the same country. They are made by developers and companies in the US, Australia, Russia and other countries. So no, they aren't made by the same devs at all.

I don't know why you would choose to refute the point in such an indefensible way. Of course talent gets shifted around sometimes. Why would you even argue that? If you'd told me, "Maybe it happens sometimes, but it doesn't account for much," that would be a much more difficult point for me to debate, as I don't have hard numbers on hand.

Movies are made by different companies and in different countries too, but it's always different actors every time, right?

Did you miss the point? I answered a message that claimed that different MMO games are so similar because they are made by the same developers. But why would Boolat games in Russia have the same developers as EA Firemonkeys in Australia? Why would EA's developers in Redwood be the same as EA's developers in San Francisco or in Helsinki?

You can find Tower Defence games made by many different game companies in many different countries and I agree that they are so similar that it is quite boring to try playing new games of that type. But they sure aren't so similar because they are made by the same developers. The reason therefore just is that they copy each other's ideas as i wrote. The same can be observed with several other types of MMO games

I think you have missed the point. You can see the handy work of game developers if you pay attention. I can't speak for MMOs since I despise them and don't play them but the person said these people move around from company to company and this is very true. Take for instance EA's Frank Gibeau who was their hardline Mobile king who wouldn't green light any project unless it has some sort of online player participation requirement. He is now over at Zynga where he may give Sims Free Play a run for it's money. Since EA and Zynga often sue each other and accuse each other of stealing each other's ideas. But the point I'm making is you will see some of his influence there and think to yourself that reminds me of something in EA games. It would only be natural. Some of EA's top people left to start their own mobile games so don't be surprised if something you see in one game reminds you of something that was a feature in another. These people do take with them their own style and if you read credits on game endings you might say, oh, yeah, I knew there was something familiar about this or that.
