Sony Cancels The Agency


             Last week, Sony Online Entertainment announced the cancellation of The Agency, a massively multiplayer shooter based in the spy and mercenary world.
             
            The project lost steam after the closure of their Denver, Tucson and Seattle branches. Sony claims that this is merely an attempt to reorganize their employees and increase efficiency. However, nearly 205 employees will lose their jobs.
             
            According to Sony, the reason The Agency was cancelled was in order to focus on two different game titles based on their popular Everquest and Planetside franchises.
             
            Existing Sony Online Entertainment titles, like DC Universe, will be unaffected by the corporate restructuring
