SOE to Distribute Turbine Expansion Packs

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday January 18, 2005 @05:19AM from the united-we-stand? dept.

voncheesebiscuit writes "Sony Online Entertainment (developers of Everquest, EQ2, and Star Wars Galaxies) and Turbine Entertainment Software (developers of Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2) announced today an agreement whereby SOE will distribute the upcoming Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2 expansion packs. Interesting news, what does this mean for future Turbine games and other MMP's as Sony increases its visibility in the space?"

because (to my knowledge) there aren't any games out now with volunteer CS.
Anarchy Online still has the ARK program running.

Sony can only improve on the distribution of Asheron's Call games. I realize this is only for the expansion packs at this point, but nobody was worse at putting boxes on the store shelves then Turbine's previous distributors.
