Good riddance for not making PS3 games

Speaking of which wasn't free realms supposed to come out on the PS3? They already have more than 4 million registered users on the PC and I think I would download it on my PS3 just for shits and giggles ( and free trophies lol )

They released it on PC like a hundred years ago, I want my trophies free game!

Thank god they're taking it out on a good for nothing division. MMO's are a drag anyway.
It is, however, unfortunate that these people lose their jobs!
