John Smedly, my favorite president of a large nexus of evil, denied the rumored impending divorce of SOE and LucasArts:

Not sure where that rumor got started about LucasArts / SOE. It’s absolutely untrue. Tin-foil hats are in order.

So, more accurately, the story is: LucasArts and SOE should part ways before that bloated bitch of a game sinks them both.
