Sony Online Entertainment Sold

Sony has sold Sony Online Entertainment, their eponymous studio behind their MMO games, including the EverQuest and PlanetSide series. That name obviously will no longer be appropriate, and TechCrunch reports the company will be renamed Daybreak by its new owner, investment management firm Columbus Nova. They also say the new owners still plan on releasing EverQuest Next as planned, though it sounds like supporting PCs is a low priority going forward, as TechCrunch says they speak of plans to develop more game for PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile. Financial terms of the deal are not being discussed at this time.

Interesting to see what this does to H1Z1.
No clue what H1Z1 is, but I'd just point out that a PE firm buying MMOs can't be good for anyone involved.

I strongly doubt this particular one is looking to make a good game.

I guess Sony had an interest inasmuch as they wanted to make good games to encourage sales of the PS4. Surprising that they'd give this up at this point what with the buzz around H1Z1 and EQ Next.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
