I like how honest Smedly is (finally) being. At least he's not trying to pump everyone w/ "We're committed to the game forever". He acknowledges that "hey, if the subs are gone, the game is closing". I'm sure SOE feels a little burned anyway. Contractually, I'd think that both SOE and LA signed something that had a "no compete" clause. Obviously, LA got out of it, but the whole thing stinks of admitted failure to me. Good luck w/ DCU.... you're going to need it.
