Dev interview with Craig Zinkievich at Eurogamer

Another one that has some extra info in... I'll let you be the judge.
The article can be found here.

Yeah I was surprised by all of the Cryptic hate in the comments below the review - not sure if you read them or not.

I never read the comments. Usually they're posted by people that are registered on the site but have no interest in the game, so you have to take everything with a grain of salt... But then again that can be said about Cryptic as well, anything they say has to be taken with a pinch or two.
Gotta find that middle ground

Indeed, the comments are where you can find the dregs of society... stupidity and ignorance abound there. Just take a peek at comments below any article and you will see evolution working in reverse.

Good article, they confirmed that Romulans and Cardassians will be implimented later in the game, which will make those player fleets who have adopted them happy, eventually.
I found one remark surprising though; "Trying to get Sony, trying to get Microsoft to really understand MMOs; really understand what needs to happen for MMOs"..... trying to get Sony to understand MMO's?!?! Have they not heard of a little game called Everquest, which revolutionized the MMO market greatly, and is still the #2 MMO out there?

It's a little different. I can see a very good business reason for not wanting MMOs on their consoles. MMOs by their very nature consume a lot of a gamer's time. For Sony to sell a game like Everquest on the PC is cool - nice steady revenue stream for the forseeable future. On the Playstation however, they are looking to sell the maximum quantity of games to the owners of the console as they can - console margins are tiny (if even positive) - having a MMO on your console would likely subtract from a gamer's want to obtain new games - as they are spending so much time on their PS3/Xbox MMO.
