Again, this brings me back to something that is REALLY bugging the hell outta me...how did SoE land the DC License? Does DC have any idea who they've hired? Sadly, practices like this are not uncommon for SoE and this is not an isolated incident. SoE has an established pattern and has a known MMO reputation of being a deceitful company...who in their right mind would hire SoE to do **edit**?! It's like none of the decision makers know d!ck about gaming, so they trust and listen to Smed. What a buncha nerds :P

 

SOE wrote a big check (and agreed to take over MxO and keep it around for a certain amount of tim, which ran out recently) and Warner Bros. cashed it.  Warner doesn't care about their IPs to any great extent, and they are even less concerned with their comic book IPs.  Look into the production history of the last Superman film (one of the least stupid of the bad ideas approved was offering Will Smith the Superman role, and he turned it down for the obvious reason).  For the most part, the only reason some of the DC Comics cartoons, live action shows, and films have been respectful to the IPs to any extent is because the people behind the production of them had respect for the IPs (usually due to some of the older comic writers being involved with the production).

Given its development history and the revolving door of development leadership, DCO has little to no chance of even being 'not that bad'.  If it flops and tarnished the reputation of the DC Comics IPs, SOE can just write another check and have a very good chance of developing DCO 2.

Then, after a few years, they will wonder why everyone else left, then tell them to 'get over it' when the ones that left explain why.  There is one major thing SWG, EQ2, and Vanguard have in common.  Someone will make a post on a forum asking why more people don't play the game, they then make angry responses to the posts from people explaining why they don't play the game.

Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

Hmmm...where have I seen that before? :P lol

 

And a great reply on DCUO. Interesting theory too...I guess with the comic book market tanked, DC needs to do something for $. Just a shame seeing good names wh0red out for fast ca$h.
