In other MMO news: SOE now under SCEI

[Mewnie]

Hmmmmm.

I am intrigued.

Kaz Hirai, in my opinion, was the only highly visible person at Sony that wasn't a complete asshole. Now that Kaz is in charge, Kutaragi is sitting in the backseat, and Harrison is gone. I might not hate Sony so much now.

well I dunno. Cryptic and possibly Square-Enix are gonna make
the best next-gen MMOs (with SE's MMO most likely exclusive
to PS3 and PC. and ironically, Cryptic's MMO exclusive to X360
and PC).

[Mewnie]

Not with Emmert still running things. He's too much like McQuaid IMHO.

[Saner]

I dunno. Either way, Sony's 3rd parties will help pump out more
good games on its system, regardless what buffoon is running
the show. but ya, don't agree with some of their decisions.

How the hell can you know any of that? Why would Square put FFXI on the 360 but not their next MMO? FFXI was likely put on the 360 largely as a pilot for their next MMO.

This news is interesting, but until he makes some decisions I won't pass my judgment. Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
