Thanks to a massive injection of capital from General Electric, the SyFy network and a games developer are building a project in which an MMO and a TV show interact and "co-evolve".
The project has the name "One Earth (http://kotaku.com/tag/oneearth/)", and the game is being worked on by Trion World Network, who you've...most likely never heard of. Trion senior producer Rob Hill says of One Earth "In this unique set-up, we can do things that other people would never even dare before: create a video game world and a television show… They not only promote each other, they literally depend on each other and co-evolve".
So the game influences the course of the show, which draws more people into the game. Interesting. Very interesting. For the full run-down, you can check out SyFy's promo clip of the project below.
