Sony Online Entertainment kjøpt opp
Selskapet Columbus Nova har kjøpt opp Sony Online Entertainment (DC Universe Online, Planetside 2, H1Z1) som heretter går under navnet Daybreak Game Company. Dette forteller forumbrukeren Dexella, en talsperson for Sony. Det fremgår ikke hvor mye penger som byttet eier, men Dexella er nøye med å poengtere at dette ikke vil ha noen negativ innvirkning på hverken oss spillere eller for spillene som SOE skaper:
"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."
Det kommer også frem at Daybreak Game Company kommer til å lage spill til andre plattformer enn Sonys, og blant dem finner vi altså Xbox:
"This means that effective immediately SOE will operate as an independent game development studio where we will continue to focus on creating exceptional online games for players around the world, and now as a multi-platform gaming company. Yes, that means PlayStation and Xbox, mobile and more!"
Fem Sony Online Entertainment-titler i tur og orden: Planetside 2, DC Universe Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest II og H1Z1:
