Wait, WHAT!?

Fuck you, John!

Is April Fools early this year? :O

Everquest coming to Xbox One.

Woah, huge loss for Sony.

So no word about what's happening with planetside 2 and Everquest? It's not like SoE being sold off really effects Their computer entertainment department. SoE hasn't really put out anything good in a long time.

They're definitely coming to Xbox One. But Everquest, DC Universe Online, H1Z1 and PlanetSide 2 are all kinda meh.

Why be angry at John? It's not like you're gonna lose the ability to play the PS4 versions.... and it's not as if they were 100% exclusive to PS4 either.

Is there confirmation on that? Haven't really looked into it myself. Last time I check that these games are still owned by Sony. Just because they sold off one department doesn't mean everything goes with it. Remember that time when an Microsoft employee (forgot the name) thought they now own Donkey Kong just because they bought Rare?

John Smedley said they wanted to bring their games to Xbox One too.

This is hardly confirmation lol. I'm sure he wants their games to reach as big an audience as possible, but that doesn't mean it can. Pretty sure those are all Sony properties.

So what exactly does this mean for you? It will be business as usual and all SOE games will continue on their current path of development and operation. In fact, we expect to have even more resources available to us as a result of this acquisition. It also means new exciting developments for our existing IP and games as we can now fully embrace the multi-platform world we are living in.

What kind of investment firm would buy a company that makes MMO's but not buy the rights to the IP's?

At least we know now.

For now, we can't say this is good or bad as of yet. It depends on how their new investor handle this.
