It's not like Sony will ever admit they made a bad decision...with most of their MMOs on lifesupport at the graveyard that has become the Station pass.

Will they ever stop ignoring and screwing over their veterens for their support and reliable cash flow?

Will they ever stop trying to change their games completly just to make a quick buck from new users?

Why do other games on the market make SOE change their games completly to cater to those who play other games? Stealing some ideas is ok, but changing your game focus to solo grind just to grab a few WoW quitters is not.

In real life it's similar to a hotdog stand selling off their 2 ketchup and sauce bottles just because they can. What about the regulars that come to his shop everyday and finds they don't get their usual sauce? What about casual customers who want to get a full product for their money? Does'nt take a genious to work out it effects alot of people, and those people will go elsewhere at this sort of poor treatment.

Stationcash is just the next development in putting EQ and EQ2, the highest quality MMOs that SOE provide, in with the graveyard of their other collapsed failed MMOs.

This will more than likely infect Vanguard and SWG in the smedley blitzkreig warpath to the microtransaction reich that will emerge once Freerealms rears its cutesey face and sucks in a few million pennyless kids.

Changing your market and all your games from roleplaying games for organised and social adults, to whining kids begging their parents for more stationcash is not what I would call an evolving business.
