Perpetual Entertainment bails on Star Trek Online
More news from the world of Captain Obvious and his sidekick, Blatant Bullsh*ttery: Developer Perpetual Entertainment (now renamed P2 Entertainment) has announced they will not continue development on much discussed MMO Star Trek Online. The game is not formally cancelled however -- the game's content and license have apparently passed into the hands of another developer in the Bay area in San Francisco, where lucky slaves are just beginning on years of hard labor. Key to this tale of woe is that while the new developers have the content, they do not have the code for the work-in-progress, pushing this game's possible debut from "the next few years" to "possibly next decade." Sorry, guys -- if you were looking forward to interacting in this universe, the next best thing may be to cosplay as Scotty and go to a con. Again. By the way, Perpetual? You might want to look for a new line of work. After blowing off Gods and Heroes (not ot mention its staff) right before its launch and all that messy Kohnke lawsuit business, things just don't look that great for you guys. Don't go the Britney route and completely lose it in public -- it's just not flattering. [Via WarCry -- Thanks, John!] Did you know?

(oh god the irony just hurts) Wasn't this basically known a while ago in this Penny Arcade comic? I swear Star Trek games are cursed. CCP must be having a big arsed party right now. God will we ever have a decent sci-fi spaced themed MMO to replace the the crap with is EVE Online? Necros, that comic was about their PR firm suing them for cancelling Gods and Heroes or whatever it was called, and not paying them the fees they were owed. It wasn't related to Star Trek Online. This is completely unprofessional of them. This game could have been the next Star Wars Galaxies but better...the screen shots, news feeds, etc. on their site made the game look like it was goign to be amazing. Could they not have teamed up with Activision to make this title since they have done previous Star Trek games? Really pathetic on their part... 9:00 AM on 06.25.2012 Pokemon Black & White 2 net over 1 million JP pre-ordersRemember when your parents told you Pokemon was just a fad? Oh how wrong they were.
