Firefly MMO may be coming our way?!! Now that’s shiny, dong ma?

According to Wired, Multiverse has signed a deal with Fox, securing the right to make a MMO based on Firefly. I’m holding cautious enthusiasm right now, since Multiverse has not to this date, produced any games on their own. Instead, Multiverse’s business plan so far has been providing the platform (some may say “game engine”, but there platform is a more appropriate phrase, because the background infrastructure is much more massive compared to say, a FPS game) for developers to make their own MMO’s. I’m a bit unclear if Multiverse is planning to make this themselves, or maybe they’re going to license it to one of the game developers currently using their platform.
