Why didn't he just say a Google MMO, as you don't even have an identity and less of a barrier to play....

This is the type of idea that a poster here would present, rather obvious, quite unrealistic and without any substance. Just placing the term in front of another doesn't make it a good idea.

I'm dissappointed that there is SO MUCH SOE could do to extend the life of the very game he's heading up for mobile play, web app play or even to update the engine for high end performance, that he's looked beyond what he's supposed to be doing to make money and presented an idea which probably features heavily in high school presentations in Computer Science classes....
