I got the feeling it'll be a sleeper hit like borderlands.

and the cool part is you can give orders to your operatives not play for a week or more and still have your missions done by them and still advance.

other then your interested in testing the game, I don't know. I'm just gonna say I'm interested and want it for the pc. hopefully it'll come to steam. I'm getting people in my clan in on it too since they bought borderlands and it was on my showing it to them. and they love games with humor.
Hopefully we'll get a response. but hey if you get a chance to put in idea's like spy gadgets and stuff like that man why not try this out?

If they respond I guess give your info if they ask for that.

I game tested before so I'll just wing it.

Report: Three SOE studios close, layoffs abound

​

Following a series of tweets from George Broussard, co-owner of 3D Realms, which indicated that Sony Online Entertainment would be undergoing layoffs and possible studio closures around its five locations today, Kotaku reports that a source "familiar with the matter" has confirmed the closures of SOE's Denver, Seattle and Tucson studios. Additionally, half of the Austin staff has been reportedly laid off, along with a "sizeable" number of workers at SOE's San Diego headquarters. In all, the layoffs are said to affect nearly one-third of SOE's total workforce.

Notably, SOE Seattle has been the lead development studio of The Agency, which had been slated to launch in the second half of the year (after a long delay). Neither SOE Denver nor Tucson has been working on anything as high profile as The Agency, though both have continued to operate a number of SOE titles, including Denver's Legends Of Norrath and other digital card games, and Tucson's PoxNora strategy game.U

Also and most imprtantly for this thread. Update: SOE has issued an official statement confirming the report and providing further details.

not big surprise to me really with what's been happening with DCUO of late low populations almost on every server. all cause they brought that game out early cause they wanted both their MMo's out in the same year. it's messing thing up oh well this game would have been awsome. now brink will take this games customers for sure.
Discussions in session.

SOE confirms studio closures, cancels The Agency

​

Following earlier reports of studio closures and mass layoffs, Sony Online Entertainment has issued an official statement regarding its "strategic decision to reduce costs and streamline its global workforce." The company confirmed the closings of its Denver, Seattle and Tucson studios and the elimination of 205 jobs.

Additionally, SOE announced the cancellation of The Agency, the long-delayed, cross-platform spy MMO under development at SOE Seattle. The company said it's discontinuing production of the title to "focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games."

SOE added that the Denver and Tucson studios' projects would be transitioned over to its San Diego headquarters. The company's full statement is posted after the break.
