Trek Online - Doomed?

Well...this could be bad. Perpetual, the development house tasked with making the big leap for Star Trek into the MMO world has been purchased by a "media company" looking to break into the video game market. Not the way a big franchise like Trek should be pushed into the world. Not only is the big management change a shocker, but apparently they are looking to drive it more towards a micro transaction model instead of subscription fees in hopes that it will draw a more casual crowd.

Sorry, there isnt jack shit thats casual about Trek fans....except their "Enterprise" watching habits.

I smell bad things. Maybe the death of this IP?

Update: Star Trek Online to Become "More Casual," Developer Perpetual Acquired by New Ownership - Shacknews
