Evening folks – it’s a sad day for 41 people, a.k.a 5% of SoE workforce, as Sony has announced job cuts! As a fan of the SoE title EverQuest I have to say I saw this one coming. You can’t stay relevant and, more importantly, profitable on the heels of your 10 year old project with a PEEK of 400,000 subscribers. SoE’s statement to online mag Massively.com is below:

“In a move to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs, Sony Online Entertainment has eliminated 5% of its full-time workforce, equaling 41 people. SOE looks forward to continuing its leadership role in the online games industry as it celebrates the highly successful launch of Free Realms, the 10-year commemoration of its ground-breaking EverQuest franchise, and the continued performance of the company’s other games.”

 Is this the sign of the end for SoE’s gaming days or will Sony produce a hot fix for this one? Leave a comment and let us know what you think.

I was trolling the web – THE WHOLE THING – and I came upon a video of the man that is making my personal all time favorite Documentary – and I’ve only seen the trailer!

Btw before you ask yes I played EQ (sorry noobs EverQuest) and no not that shitty EQ2 – Friends don’t let friends play EQ2.

Watch it and drool geeks – I did.

BAM!
