Time called on Star Wars Galaxies

MCV Staff 27th June 2011 Business News

Publishers Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts have announced that as of December 15th 2011 long-running MMO Star Wars Galaxies will be no more.

Subscriptions for the game are no longer available and its associated digital store has been closed.

Current subscribers will be offered a free two-month trial on any of the following titles: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, DC Universe Online, EverQuest, EverQuest II or Free Realms.

Describing later this year as "the appropriate time" to call it quits, a statement claimed: We are extremely grateful to all of the SWG fans.

"We have had the rare opportunity to host one of the most dedicated and passionate online gaming communities and we truly appreciate the support we’ve received from each and every one of you over the course of the past eight years.”

We’re going to end with a bang and we want the final chapter of the galaxy to be written in part by the dedicated and passionate SWG community. Details will be announced at a later date.”

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
