It could be a hoax put on by the magazine but if so I don't get why they would target an, as you call it, esoteric game. Who is going to get the joke? What purpose does it serve? Most readers obviously don't play Planetside so to put out such an easy to swallow hoax with no hints of falsehood would have most readers just believing it outright... that enters more into "lie" territory than joke territory and I wouldn't think SOE would be happy about it. It would seem far "funnier" to spread a hoax about a big game, like Battlefield or Counterstrike or something. A lot more people would get a clue. Actually, if it is a hoax, it would seem far "funnier" if it was actually funny. :/
