Why do I always get the feeling Corpnews is a shill for Wolfpack and Shadowbane? Is it just me?

Perhaps you should ask them. ON THEIR SITE.

What's said in idiotville stays in idiotville.

Same goes for retardville. If he wants to talk about it he can. Would rather have that then a crosspost.

I guess the first expansion was a reference to their coding and the second has something to do with the finances.

I don't recall seeing "Shadowbane: A Festering Debacle" and Shadowbane: Teetering On the Edge of Solvency" at EB.

That would mean their next expansion would be Stack Full of Cocks.

Anyone want to wager an over/under on how long it'll be before the expansion shows up in the $5.99 bin at EBGames?

They might cut their losses by just releasing it at that price.

Hey, that is Planetside! Don't steal their ideas, they need money too.

(Totally OT: Planetside lead dev/designer David "Smokejumper" Georgson (Tribes etc) left SOE the other day. Replaced by someone that refuses to reveal his real name. WTF? Are the fanbois THAT rabid?)

They never got the original to a production quality, so I view their expansions as more "huge required patches and bugfixes (in which we inadvertantly create scads more bugs and fuck up the game even more)". The only difference is that apparently some people pay for these patches that should be free. Either way, it's just more shit shoveled on the pile.

Good news, IMHO.  Smokejumper could make a good Tribes game, but he didn't really exploit what a massively multiplayer FPS could be.   That this new guy refuses to reveal his new name could mean he's paranoid, or it could mean there's big changes a'coming.

From what has been posted on the boards by "SamHaynePS" (not his real name), one can see that he has been a very active player of PS despite not beeing with the PS team until Wednesday or so. That is good.

Abashi perhaps? He certainly has reasons to hide his real name... :)

(Don't even know if he is with SOE anymore. I'm just starting rumours here.)

Abashi is a programmer for EQ2 now.  Not sure what he is doing any more specific than that.  Not sure if it is the game itself, or the DB, or the UI...

Abashi is most likely in charge of programming the puppy kicking simulation.
