SOE: The MMO factory

Sony Online Entertainment is determined to churn out mediocre MMO after mediocre MMO, whether you want it or not. Know why? Because they want to sell those SOE all access cards -- to them, that's more important than the quality of the title. Basically, the motto is quantity, not quality. Well, time to add another MMO to that roster of suck, kiddies. Check out what Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley told GamesIndustry:

During his speech Landau showed a clip of the company's new spy-themed MMO, stating, "We think this will take espionage entertainment to a new level."

But according to Smedley, "It's not really just an espionage game. It's a combination of espionage... Think 24 meets Alias meets Counterstrike."

He went on to reveal that SOE has several new IPs in the works, adding, "We have one coming out late this calendar year, and it hasn't even been announced."

There you have it. Another SOE MMO you'll probably never play. But, you never know, maybe this will be the exception to the Star Wars Galaxies rule.

Vanguard it wasn't originally a SOE product, though when it became one all hopes of it being any good (oh and stable at launch) went out the window.

God, they need to stop making MMOs or start shutting some of the other ones down. I wonder how many Expansions for EQ they can make before the bubble finally bursts.

SWG wasn't doing all that bad until they pissed on their player base twice, with their Combat Revamps.

So you can't spam the e-mail list anymore so your spamming the comments? Also what relevance is there to the article in what your posting?

Oh I see it's a perfect example of Quantity versus Quality!

Good job Snaileb, I'll vote you for president.

I can't believe Im getting burned for the e-mails.. so fucking brutal.
No, there is no relevance, Im fucking bored.
Everyone knows GreyBush Workman is going to be pres. Voting for me would be like voting for the third party. It wont count.
And finally, I can't agree more. I wish I could edit it because I do NOT like having more than half the comments be my screw up.
Also, cocks.

How can everyone be a spy? It doesn't seem as cool when everyone else is a spy as well.

Don't worry Snaileb, I always support third party; somebody needs to vote for them.
