Just saying.
Uh..all of their games were rushed out the door and unfinished.

They all took over a year for us to get an update to their storylines.

None of their games were popular.

Once those run out, SE has three options. Start charging for the game and see who sticks around, continue to fund and support a game that is currently operating in a negative cash flow, or cut their losses and shut the servers down.
Or they get the game up to speed, release it for PS3, start the P2P service and like FFXI, make up the money in 1-2 years and begin making a profit off of it?

That works too.
