Even people with the same moral fiber as you have many different opinions about what represents a tough moral decision--though they might share the same caliber of morality, where they pick and fight their moral battles can be very different. And in every case, a person makes these decisions alone, for themselves.

Pros – Flexible hours, great team great work environment.
Cons – The commute could be shorter!

That had to be one of our devs. Sad to see such happiness a mere week before the ax fell.

Because I wouldn't have wanted an avid Tabula Rasa fan to have done it to us.

I was in Game Stop the other day and the cashier asked me if I wanted to pre-order the new WoW expansion, and I (never having played WoW) said "Nah, I'm an avid City of Heroes player and buying anything for an MMO at this point isn't really something I want to do..."

To which she soberly replied "I'm so sorry, I heard about what's going on there..."

Two other people in the store also piped up. Nobody there actually played City of Heroes, but they knew what was going on, and were very supportive and said they were sorry the way things were going down. It was nice to hear, to be honest (the past few weeks have been a very low point for me for a miriad of reasons, including this). However, more importantly... gamers know what's going on. They know who is doing it and don't understand it any more than the rest of us.

I didn't ask if they bought GW2 or if it influenced their purchases from them... I was feeling awkward enough as it was by getting so much attention from an offhand statement I'd made, to tell the truth. I just wanted out of there and not to think about it.

I think this will impact NCSoft more than they realize, in the western market at any rate. That will probably be 'revenge' enough.

We'll do something that fills fans of City of Heroes with joy, something that leaves NCSoft behind to become a small, dim, unimportant memory.
