Pirates of the Spanish Main: SOE and the CSG
The Escapist: In a related question, SOE is usually seen as an MMO company. Where does Pirates fit into your portfolio? What does it offer you as a company? Are you trying to broaden the audience or is this just a niche product that seemed like a good idea?
Kyle: The SOE-Denver studio (formerly Worlds Apart Productions) is a recent acquisition by SOE, and we're dedicated to creating the best customizable online games. Our past products include Star Chamber, The Lord of the Rings Online TCG, Auto Assault TCG, and Pirates CSG Online, and we're about to launch the Stargate Online TCG next week! So our game studio, while being new to the SOE family, is definitely not new to the space. SOE is interested in broadening its entertainment offerings to provide players a complete package and our Denver studio was a perfect fit.
The Escapist: And since the theme of the issue is Pirates, who is your favorite pirate?
Kyle: Cap'n Jack Sparrow of course!
