Columbus Nova has no plans to shut down any Sony Online Entertainment games

Earlier today, investment company Columbus Nova closed a deal to acquire massively multiplayer online developer Sony Online Entertainment. This is the firm’s first move into gaming — although it has a history of working with technology companies.

Columbus Nova’s website notes that it manages over $15 billion of assets. The company says it takes a “long-term view” on investing, and the company plans to apply that philosophy to its new game developer as well. Daybreak, which is the new name for Sony Online Entertainment, has several active MMOs including EverQuest, PlanetSide 2, and DC Universe Online, and it plans to keep it that way.
