Sony sold off SOE (developers of Planetside 2 and H1Z1), SOE is now Daybreak Game Company.

If anything, I bet DC Universe Online makes it over to the Xbox One before anything else (if anything else).

That is what a lot of people have been wondering as well, what this will mean to their existing games. The devs claim it'll be, "business as usual", but that doesn't really mean a whole lot. I would hope this management firm doesn't turn around and have them start making all their MMOs P2W games, specially after all the hell they went through with the launch of H1Z1.

Yes, he's in charge of the new company. I doubt they'll gut the company, but considering it was purchased by an investment firm with no ties to video games, I bet they'll just flip everything to maximum P2W and try to drain the customers as quickly as possible.

SWG was pretty decent, until they decided to "fix" everything with it and made it a bloody mess of a game. DCU I always enjoyed, not the best MMO out there but far from being a bad one. I have personally never played Planetside 2, but always heard good things from friends who have played it. I do agree though, EQ1 has been their biggest success to date and one wonders if they can ever top it.

As of right now, no word on if anyone is leaving because of this buyout or if this management firm will "trim the fat" so to speak with some downsizing. I do know the post was not from Smedley though, so there is that, though that doesn't say much of the matter at hand.

From what I've heard, several members from the H1Z1 team were let go and a lot of the Everquest guys were let go, including the original creator of the Everquest franchise.
