| I think Kazgrim has hit the heart of the issues spot on. I think SOE might be in a scenario where they almost *have* to buy Vanguard to keep it from tanking altogether and therefore losing the revenue from its presence on Station Pass as well. I personally think that Sigil no longer has the funds to keep this game progressing and cannot pay their developers to put much support into it.
I think its less of a matter of SOE wanting the game so that they can make a profit off it and turn it into something good, and more of an issue where Sigil are dropping the ball on all aspects of the game and leaving SOE with having to promote and support a sinking title with little contribution from Sigil. I think its a catch 22 for SOE because they're stuck with having the product on their lineup regardless. |
