PlanetSide Producer Swap

The PlanetSide Website (thanks Frans) has word from Dave Georgeson that he's no longer to be the producer on SOE's MMOFPS, but will be transitioning to a role as senior designer on the game. Here's the deal: "PlanetSide is the biggest, baddest game I've ever had the privilege to work on ... and it's going to keep going for quite some time. So I'm taking the chance to move from being the Producer to becoming a full-time Senior Designer on the team. Dallas Dickinson is taking my place as Producer while I work more closely with Kevin McCann, Terrence Yee, and the rest of the Design team to create new features for PlanetSide as well as to continuously hone the existing game according to feedback we gain from you folks and the data we gather from our databases."

Lay off Dave Georgeson guys, Tribes 2 had it's issues but it still is a damn fine game. Battlefield 1942 has had precisely the same teething issues as T2 and is, after months of patching & an expansion pack, missing a working tournament mode and has network code that is extremely quirky. I don't see you ragging at Dice with the same vehemence.

Planetside seems to be a continuation of the squad warfare Tribes 2 promoted to more massed combat actions. It is again a very ambitious design and people do seem to be having fun and enjoying it. So how about cutting the guy some slack, eh?
