If the SOE team hasn't figured this out already (I'm sure you have), you've just figured out a new, highly profitable business model.
The model where you give a shit about your community, and as a result, they become a gigantic, free marketing tool for EVERY SINGLE GAME YOU WILL EVER RELEASE. You've taken what Blizzard does, which is release good stuff, and added on people who talk to us about their passion and their development. Now it's not just marketing, but it's also recruitment. People, I KNOW, have actually told me that they're considering moving out to Cali to apply for jobs in the business, and they'll be applying to SOE as well, whereas before this they wouldn't have gone near them.
Planetside 2 and it's dev team have done more than just make a game we all want. They may very well have salvaged what was a decaying and nearly unanimous perception of a dying company, and turned it into an evolved business.
"SOE is evolving! It turned into AWESOME SAUCE! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!"
