    I have mixed feelings.

    I never like to see people lose their jobs.

    This is the company that bungled EQNext, so I hate them.

    This is also the company that owns the EQ IP, so I don't want them to tank.

    Don't know what to say.
    Once they crash and burn all we can hope for is that a competent company finally ends up with the EQ IP.

    Surprised they haven't shut down the studio at this point.
    My assumption when they took over was that they would operate each game until such time as it ceased to be "sufficiently profitable" at which point they would close the game.

    With this - latest - round of cutbacks I assume they expect to continue to make (some) money.

    With each title you close though the remaining titles have to support an ever greater share of the overheads. A death spiral.


    I don't see anyone buying DBG either. The "assets"? There will come a point at which the only thing that can be cut are the current management overheads - so maybe. As I said earlier though DCUO may not be one of those "assets" - its "entangled" with DC and WarnerBros.

    I can't tell if people are just bitter over EQ Landmark/Next or not (you were all warned). That to me is Smedley's fault, not DBG.

    Do you have evidence of that?
