Monolith and WBIE

[Neo]

Hello guys,
well as i was interested why Warner Bros overtake more and more game studios, i was wondering a little bit what is with monolith

What i didnt knew : Monolith was overtook in 2004 from warner bros , so Monolith is part of Warner Bros Interactive.

Well...this is really interesting , as i know didnt understand completely why SOE took over MxO .

What i could imagine is that monotlith did the development , so SOE was only publisher.

On the other side, the reason for shutdown MxO could now have a new one, as i read that Warner Bros has reduced the employee amount from 3 of their game studios - including monolith.

So this would explain why this happens.

Just found it interesting, as Warner Bros is atm on the "game course" and that i am now more and more wondering why they gave up MxO (as it is their own game).

An interesting link is there too :

We acquired Monolith Productions in 2005. That was the first time we moved into the game business. We bought it for The Matrix Online massively multiplayer online game. It was an early move into those games. That game didn’t work out well. But that was the first step into the video game game business.
