After SoE was jettisoned from Sony and bought by a venture capital group - Columbus Nova, which is it's self a whole owned subsidiary of Renova - a large Russian investment firm. They announced today a large swath of layoffs... Gone are some big name dev's that worked on all the SoE projects. EQ2 only has 21 people on it and now will be down to 15 or less. Good bye Eq2 franchise....ugh.

Yeah... Lots of people in shock. Of course the usual corporate double speak is coming out of Gamebreak games, but it can't be good. If they are hitting the payroll this hard already they must be in the mode of propping up bottom line in the hopes to sell off bits and pieces of the portfolio. Anyways, lots of info on EQ2wire.com and other SoE related forums... Looks like I should be making Lotro a more permanent home.
