While Big Download has been busy covering lots of big events this summer like QuakeCon. BlizzCon and the just completed PAX 2009, we will not be making it down to Austin, Texas for next week's GDC Austin. The conference, organized by the same company that also handles the main GDC event held in San Fransisco every March, covers all aspects of game development but tends to lean on the MMO genre.That's why two of the event's keynotes will be all about massively multiplayer games. Sony Online founder John Smedley is scheduled to speak about their recent success with the free-to-play MMO Free Realms. Also Blizzard's Frank Pearce and J. Allen Brack will be making their own keynote address on the universe of their hit MMO World of Warcraft. If you happen to be in the Austin area there is still time to register before the event which runs from Sept 15-18.
