The leading online games operator in South-East Asia – Asiasoft Corporation, and Sony Online Entertainment, struck a new partnership to bring the award-winning massively multiplayer online game DC Universe™ Online in eight ASEAN countries – Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and VietNam.
This is one of the biggest partnership in the region I have seen! In previous years, regional distribution was always only for Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and VietNam. Today, Cambodia and Myanmar joins their ASEAN brothers (and sisters) in a new adventure.
