Even with 1.5 million dollars of revenue that may not be enough. Between having to pay the development team and wanting to have a good enough profit. PS is at the stage where its only staying online because they can still make probably about 50%-70% is my bet. My guess is that they figured a lawsuit message would do the best out of what any programming could do to fight The lawsuit message would remain there as opposed a constant fight with through programming. The programming route is probably more expensive and would need to stay there till the game finally was cast aside. SOE just doesn't see it from a profit stand point to do such a thing.
If you actually think Bilzzard or any other company would do such a thing like with PS, you probably need a reality check. This is Corporate America we're talking here, not your local bakery run by a old lady.
That doesn't mention SOE anywhere in the article. Besides that SOE just recently started working more closer with Sony. They really just had the name stamped on them as far as I know up until then.
Well considering adding content and adding code are completely different not surprised their havign this problem. they could have a team of 40 designers on the game if they don't have coders they can't do squat about it. They've been working with content tools for quite a while to add everything thats been added lately.
Its probably actually cheaper for them. Get their law team to file some lawsuit against the hosts, hosts figure its too much trouble and jsut drop the people puttign up the hacks. Money wise, why hire a coder and add them to them the when they could at least slow down the problem by having someone do somethign thats already on the payroll.
they also might be thinking a little more long term. Like getting the more popular areas that the hacks are found shut down THEN patching it.

Are you saying they're being hypocritical? SOE was barely affialated with Sony during that time. Otherwise I don't see what you're trying to get across.

Blizzard goes after people screwing with their game and people say, "YEAH BLIZZARD!!!" SOE goes after people screwing with their game and people say, "BOO SOE, I HOPE THE HACKERS BEAT YOUR _ _ _ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Get over it people, they only make video games.
Ok, I'm over it. Now maybe you can get over the fact I hate SOE. I hope they lose.
SOE suing a hacking website is just one criminal entity suing another criminal entity. Instead of fixing their own game they tie up courts. Brilliant.
I would *love* to have a job with SOE. You're not expected to really do anything that's the least bit challenging or time consuming. It's basically wellfare for crappy developers.

Sure. I have no programming experience and have no game development experience. I would fit right in with SOE's other devs.

I don't think Sony cares except to make it appear that they are trying to do something to fix it. Hell My EQ server crashed every 24 hours almost to a fault and it took them 9 months to fix the problem (Which I think was there code to begin with) It wasn't till people started canceling accounts that it got fixed and in a hurry.

Dat’z an easy statement to make on a forum, but it’z one dat can’t be verified untill Blizzard is in dat position.
Rememba, 10k subz at $12.99/monf is still o’a 1.5mil a year. Dat’z enough revenue to warrant da resolution of game-breakin’ bugz in dis Ork’z opinion.
Even with 1.5 million dollars of revenue that may not be enough. Between having to pay the development team and wanting to have a good enough profit.

Anyone remember this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Sony_BMG_CD_copy_protection_scandal
Aha! they are suing the web host of someone who is posting exploits.
Meh, hacking does no one any good, the webhost should take it down on their own accord.
How is that even relevant lol?

They are violators as well.

Exactly
Probably true, but not a good fin’. Den again, SOE doez ’ave a ’istory of dat kinda fin’.
Rots, just out curiosity, why do you type like that?
Ok, I'm over it. Now maybe you can get over the fact I hate SOE. I hope they lose.
I’s a roleplaya an’ I’s gearin’ up for Warhamma. Best way to become familiar wiv a role/dialect is practice.
Ok cool. Good way to practice.
