re: Jumpgate Evolution troubles?

So, news today that NetDevil studios, who had worked both on Lego MMO and the much delayed Jumpgate Evolution is undergoing changes from its parent company Gazillion, which apparently wants to refocus on browser MMOs (blech!). But I can't see them converting JGE to browser, so its odd. Anyway, this pair of stories at massively:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/24/gazillion-press-release-clarifies-netdevil-layoff-rumors/
Nothing is really clarified imo. Hopefully one decent-ish space fighter MMO comes out. Black Prophecy seems to be edging forward, they at least seem to have news bit every few weeks.
I just checked the JGE webpage, and its changed. I think I looked at it about a month ago?? and it was still the old page they'd had for a while, but maybe I'm mistaken. But the current page does seem new, since only 1 tab is available. Still not hot on the glowly trails and most of the ship designed, but the blue tinted faction looks, well, acceptable enough.
