Sony's MMORPG "Sovereign" Dead

Gudlyf writes "Although the main site for this massive-multiplayer game by Sony (once known as Verant) was updated at some point late last year, it seems that according to CNN Money, it's gone quietly dead after 4.5 years in development (reminds me of why I posted my vote in a previous story on vaporware): "Work on 'Sovereign,' a massively multiplayer real time strategy game, has been terminated after more than four-and-a-half years of development. Ambitious in nature, the game had hoped to replicate a continuous global war that supported up to 500 players. Diplomacy would have played as significant a role as the player's tactical abilities. 'We came to a decision that it was not going to be what we wanted it to be,' said McDaniel. 'It never really had the magic.'""

    #1 off topic #2 Conspiracy crap #3 Very bad video editing #4 So if these illuminati-new-world-order-saucer-people are so powerful, how come they havn't taken out your sorry ass yet? Remember, nothing ever happened to america that wasn't the governments grand master plan. Everybody in the world loves us and couldn't possible hurt us without the government's support.
