Considering talks like this one, does this make porting VO to any consoles of interest to Guild Software?

Hell no - they're already spending an enormous amount of current and future dev time on platform expansion/maintenance issues.

VO needs to more reasons to play the game, not more ways to play the fucking game.

That issue was not one that ever had any bearing on our support for consoles. Both Sony and MS know that we're an MMO that requires special dispensation to operate on our own servers separately from their regular online networks. They both actually have systems to raise this kind of issue and receive special policy approval.

It just isn't something usable by games that actually utilize Sony and Microsoft's own online content. The article you're linking to is much more meaningful to the average console developer, which obviously means.. not from the MMO genre (almost an unheard-of minority on console, due to all the policy hoop-jumping and restrictions on patching).

Short version: There are a lot of challenges with console, but that wasn't really one of them.

We have never ruled out the possibility of a console version, and we've had long-standing relationships with all of the companies. Right now, we have other launches and development to address.

That makes sense.

Lecter, why so salty bro? You mad?
