| Dodece said: I hate to be the bearer of ill tidings, but Sony Online Entertainment has a poor reputation in regards to honest disclosure. Simply put they are perhaps one of the industries worst pathological liars. Often enough their first response is to lie. Many a gaming enthusiast has taken the time to compile a complete list, and it is actually larger then the rap sheet for a full blown sociopath. When Sony Online Entertainment makes a statement it is often the best of policies to treat it as if it did not exist. What good is someone giving you their word if they do not consider their word in any way shape or form to be sacred. Somewhat like an atheist swearing in the name of god. I am not saying it is true or false. I am saying the statement is moot in that it provides no proof one way or another. I might take it seriously were the developer to make a commitment to honesty. However to my knowledge they have yet to do that. Even though their credibility is entirely shot to hell. That is why rumors often have more credibility then the developer themselves. That should be a glowing neon sign when nobody pays attention to you anymore, or even bothers to ask a question. |
I agree with most of what you said. But you are essentially saying that we should not believe SOE's announcement about a game that they are developing. How else are we going to know if this game is still in development or not? We have to trust their word at this point...untill either (1) The game comes out or (2) SOE cancels it.
