One thing to note the old freerealms game could be played in a browser so its not something they can't do and still have a pretty interesting game engine.

I fully expect Daybreak to be just a placeholder.
Once they go into 100% develeopment mode of their established IPs in a browser, it will get renamed to Swampdonkey Online Games.
The virtual currency would be called Donkeybucks and you could become a subscriber to the Swampdonkey All Access program.

Place your bets!
Who will be gone first? Georeson,Higby or Smedly?
I'm thinking Smedly to be honest. I think he will fall on his sword after he is forced to cut half of his team.

Yup sony has been having issues for a while now this actually could be a pretty good thing for the guys working on eq next/landmark and their existing stuff. We shall see and it does open cross platform options for developing things for the xbox one as well.

No way, Georgeson is a survivor I'd say he is the last go.
I think he knew ahead of time and that's why he cut the Poneytail.
Also, Here is the Portfolio
Sony has been in trouble for a while now. The PS4 has been a hit but the company is huge and their TV and mobile departments are eating shit.Either Sony is in trouble (unlikely) or they thought SOE was a loser (probably). They can put a cheery spin on this all they want, but it can't be good.
The first thing that happens after these buy-outs and mergers is a trimming of the fat. Hold onto your butts.
All legal and contractual annoyances aside, I'm sure the money part made sense for everyone. Not sure what SOE brought in but it probably wasn't the type of profit that Sony couldn't stand to part with for the right price. So they sell SOE, which I'd so was very loosely tied to the gaming side of Sony (consumer awareness, I mean) and probably make a pretty penny. Now Daybreak is funded by a company with deep pockets giving them more assets to work with and an entire roster of platforms to release on. Sony still gets to see EverQuest, H1Z1, etc. on their platform, too.

The Neckbeard that did well in the last 15 years now poised to return EQ to the glory it deserves. I bet there's more then a few people holding on to that hope, mostly those with posts in the EQ subforum.

Not sure who you're talking about here.. If it's Georgeson you're going to be in for a wild ride because he's the reason the EQ franchise is where it is right now.
