Did ProSiebenSat.1 Accidentally Leak Vanguard Free To Play?

Oh Joy, The Sony Hackers Are Back!
December 30th, 2011 Omali Apparently someone is nostalgic for seven months ago when Sony’s services on Playstation 3 and PC were offline for weeks on end after a hacker broke into the database and walked out with a cartload of personal data. Thankfully, in their usual fashion, the Denial of Service group Anonymous has released a video in advance, [...]
Triple Station Cash, December 17th Only
December 17th, 2011 Omali Sony cash days have achieved almost holiday status for some, like the return of the McRib or when your bank fires that teller who asks you for identification every time you just want to deposit a check.

SOE Authenticator Coming To Device, iOS, and Android
August 12th, 2011 Omali Even if you did hide the authenticator image behind several pages of CSS.

Following in the steps of Blizzard, Square Enix, and a select few other companies, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the company will be [...]
Vanguard Gets A Patch
August 10th, 2011 Omali Allow me to be the first to exclaim: Holy cow! If you don’t understand why Vanguard being patched warrants an article, you probably don’t follow Vanguard, and if you don’t follow Vanguard…Well I’ll let the community’s wrath be a surprise. So far, MMO Fallout is running on comments that Sony would like to take Vanguard [...]
Much Ado About Vanguard
July 11th, 2011 Omali I took the liberty of stocking this article with tissues, as I’m sure there are a few Vanguard fans who will be shedding tears over this article. No, Vanguard is not shutting down (as I’ve talked about in previous articles). Massively has an article up about Sony Fan Faire 2011 regarding Vanguard today, where Salim [...]
