I have the good fortune to be gaming buddies with Matt Miller and had the opportunity to ask him last night (Sat) if there was anything to the theory Sylph Knight laid out in the OP. His response was a resounding NO! He indicated NCSoft has what they need to keep Paragon Studios & CoH running if that's what they want. Unfortunately, they made a business decision to shutter the studio and eventually shut down the game. Time will tell how well that works out for them.
Now I don't know you, so likewise you don't know me, and so there isn't any particular reason for you to believe a thing I've just said. It is however, the truth as I know it, and so I cannot stand by when you impugn the integrity of a former developer of the game who was so good to us when he was at Paragon Studios.

Yeah, I don't know you and you don't know me, but I highly respect the work done by BaB and the rest to create CoH. I tell a lot of people how amazing this game is - not only game play, community, but the program too.
There is a bunch of hate towards NCSoft, without any explanations on the shutdown. I've done what I can to discover things, to make an informed opinion before blaming someone. So, yes I questioned BaB's post, cause he stated he does not know what is happening and that we shouldn't protest Cryptic/Perfect World, but at the same time indirectly calls on a protest of NCSoft. That was unfair, cause he has no evidence. Flame me, Flame him too.
I also questioned Jack in person awhile back about CoH (ED, Level Cap, Tanks). He left me thinking he didn't care much of what we thought. Maybe he didn't like my questions, but I'll still keep my signed nerf bat. Where is Jack now? How does he really feel about us? And who has the rights to the game engine?
Other than NCSoft and Perfect World, there's the Nexon share buy and Bluehole stealing Lineage 3 codes to make TERA. I'm sure there's more going on, but NCSoft is taking hits, internally and externally. Despite being a healthly looking company, I wouldn't be surprised if NCSoft was bought out in the next couple of years. The recent loss on financials appear to be short-term costs (lots of severance), that will fade and profits should rebound.
Since I don't know you, but you appear to know the people on the inside -.- I will trust what you say and stop posting things in the nature that Cryptic/Perfect World had anything to do with the demise of CoH after this one. However, should you be pulling my cape, I will trash Cryptic/PW (posts, conventions, game reviews, e-mails, letters, general conversations, etc.) any chance I get. If you are right, same goes with NCSoft.
