That's right folks, it must be because Gamasutra has quotes from SOE developers saying that they have been WRONG on game production ideas, namely the whole SWG folly:
"I would have done it a lot differently, and I think that's what's really been driving a lot of this," said Blakely, SOE's vice president of development, regarding the SWG changes known collectively as the New Game Enhancements, or NGE. Those changes, rolled out shortly after the previous year's AGC, resulted in several departures of development employees, and a significant portion of the customer population by some estimates cutting it in half.
Of course, it took the entire destruction of a very popular game to get them to say it, but take the small victories where you can.
Read the whole sorid tale at Gamasutra's Austin coverage, then prepare for whatever asteroid that is headed for Earth that they clearly know about first.
