I really hope this is sarcasm.

Its not. Let's look at some of SOE's recent biggest accomplishments:
1. Start the card game crap and build RMT systems offering pixels for real money
2. Drive eq live further into the ground - every other update is just new marketplace items
3. Eq2/ SWG i cant really comment on because I cant stand either long enough to give them a fair chance, but I dont hear particularly good things about them (i.e star wars combat patch)
4. Vanguard Dies due to abysmal resource allocation
5. FreeRealms ('nuff said)
6. DC universe... really hope this will be great but I can see them dumping their whole budget on cinemas, voice acting, and advertisement and letting the actual game suck. No beta yet for a Nov. release which you can already pre-order? Sounds like Star Trek online's strategy and we all discovered why.
7. And most recently, what would potentially bring back a substantial bunch of box sales with the new server (if done it right) is getting put off till jan so they can focus on milking the newest expansion for whatever its worth. And even then im fairly sure they will fuck it up.
Smed only cares about money, which I can accept as they are a business, but I can't help but feel betrayed by the assfucking they repeatedly give to their (former) loyal customers. P99 however is driven by fans and for fans of the gaming experience we are all loved which to me is far more impressive then whatever profits SOE is pulling off.
