The MTV Multiplayer Blog interviewed John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment, about the future of MMOs. He discusses some of SOE's current projects and comments that they'll be focusing on consoles for all of their upcoming MMOs.

Sony's plans may include games for their hand-held console, the PSP. Smedley goes on to talk about bringing existing, popular franchises into MMO development, and remarks, "It's pretty safe to say that 'EverQuest' has not seen its last game."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

MBCook writes "In several recent releases, it seems that Atari published games for the Wii based on ScummVM, which was released under the GPL. Atari contracted Majesco, who contracted a company named Mistic Software with offices in the Ukraine. When the fact that the GPL was being violated was brought to Atari's attention, they were kind at first until it was discovered that Nintendo doesn't allow open source software to be used with the Wii SDK, so updated documentation mentioning the GPL wasn't an available solution. So, what happens to the games? 'There is a period of time in which all current copies have to be sold. Any copies beyond this period or any reprints get fined with quite high fine for each new/remaining copy. The remaining stock has to be destoryed [sic].' Atari and Majesco seem to have been very cooperative about this whole thing, but had their hands tied by the agreement with Nintendo."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/06/24/1449254/Atari-Sub-Sub-Contractor-Used-ScummVM-For-Wii-Game?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/06/24/1449254"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/06/24/1449254/Atari-Sub-Sub-Contractor-Used-ScummVM-For-Wii-Game?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/WdAOc4Af--0" height="1" width="1"/
