I also see that Trion was bought by Gamigo. Isn't that the same company that bought Aeria Games? I just looked it up and it is. It looks like they've bought some other companies too. I guess they're trying to become the dominant company in the free-to-play space, which is interesting considering MMOs aren't currently the popular style of game.

By the way, if you're looking for something simple to play in the mean time check out Hordes.io. It's a casual 3D browser game that can be fun to play here and there.
