World of Warcrafft is huge, how huge you may ask? Big enough to get Bejeweled in it? Looks like next time you are flying from one town to the next or killing some time at the auction house you may be able to keep yourself busy by playing some Bejeweled. I like the idea of having something to do during those long trips from town to town, but usually I just use those trips as a chance to go to the bathroom. What do you guys think, do you want some Bejeweled in your WoW?
Using World of Warcraft’s mod tools, Fromwiller built a surprisingly convincing copy of PopCap’s game, which he called Besharded. His feat did not go unnoticed by the Seattle-based publisher of the original.
“[Besharded] was cool and fun, but not very polished, so we reached out to the gamer in question and hired him to do an official version of Bejeweled for WoW,” PopCap representative Garth Chouteau said in an e-mail to Wired.com.
Blizzard did not respond to requests for comment.
When asked why Blizzard would show no opposition to adding a competitor’s game within their game, Chouteau said: “I think there may be some Bejeweled fans over there.”
