Starting tomorrow, September the 1st (from 10 AM PDT), heroes and villains alike will celebrate the Champions Online's second anniversary. Rockstar heroine Sapphire will take the stage and DJ Madbot will spin and scratch to his heart content.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Embracer Group AB (“Embracer”) has entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Perfect World North America Corporation and Perfect World Publishing B.V. (collectively “Perfect World Entertainment” or “PWE”)[1], from Perfect World Europe B.V. (“Perfect World”). PWE is a video game developer and publisher for PC and consoles, including PWE Publishing and Cryptic Studios.
These guys are on an embracing spree.
Dark Horse
DIGIC
Perfect World Entertainment
Shiver Entertainment

Not just focused on gaming either.
At what point is someone gonna stop these groups that are buying up studios, catalogs etc in mass quantities
Many reports of currency (AD) being stolen from players, which was earned legitimately have surfaced- from long time, reputable players & many others. This along w/ inconsistent banning & customer service calling people's actions- "illegal." Cryptic seems to hate its own customers for bugs its had for 6mos (if you include preview/test server).
Tons of corroboration from major streamers (#BanGate):

I know I am in the minority here but game exploits should never be punished with a ban. It is the developers fault it exists. The developers need to be more careful not the players. The players are playing the game as presented to them, if the player doesnt try to stuff packets or change the game code and plays the game AS THE DEVELOPERS RELEASE IT TO THEM, then it is fair game. Especially since the term exploit can be VERY broad.
I would understand the people who are against the actions better had there not been people purposely asking for "glitch hunts" that wording is what shows that they were doing something wrong.
I'm more surprised by the fact that there are actually still people playing this shitty game.
