I'll whisper this so as not to cause any embarassment - they ARE "from" the same company, Cryptic developed both games. Then most of the Cryptic developers involved switched over to NCSoft when given the chance. If you're quick you could maybe edit your earlier post and no-one will be any the wiser...
Champions is, as of now, pretty much 100% inferior to CoX, simply because we have so many years of polish and experience behind our game.

No they were from the same company. They are not from the same company now.
"Are" being the present tense and all.
Havent played any Hero game in 3 years, so basically, its good to know they arent the same company anymore, but still, I have to agree that CoX is far superior then CO turned out to be.
Editted: And started re-playing CoX recently. Been a while, so I'm sorry for ym ignorance. Thank you for keeping me informed

No, from referring to the company releasing the game, it isn't tense dependent in this case.
I drink coffee from a cup
This game comes from Paragon Studios.
But, as you are drinking the coffee, it is no longer in the cup. Thus that coffee that you drank had its origins from the cup, but now exists in the cup no longer. Referring to a past state.
This game is run by Paragon Studios. It is "from" Cryptic.
Just like I'm from my mother, but I'm now my own independent person.

And if you see any puns in the above, they weren't intentional. |

You actually contradicted your own statement. If all of the Cryptic staff made the jump over the PlayNC, then they can't have been the same people who made Champions Online. If you're arguing for the baseline semantics of "same company" in terms of name and brand, then yes, they were made by the "same company." But Cryptic today is to Cryptic in 2004 what Atari in 1972 is to Atari, SA. Interestingly, Cryptic Studios seems to be listed as a subsidiary of Atari, SA, and I found that out reading up to make that comparison...

You must have a U and as such no u is a blatantly false statement and therefore invalidates your entire argument about the origins of CO and CoX. It obviously follows that the games are made by different companies.
I think that's right... I never did quite master the chewbacca defence.

well, he never resided there for an extended period of time, but he was there, and living 
Wasn't the actual defense that he was on Endor not that he was living on Endor?

NCSoft hired a large majority of the Cryptic team working on CoH away from Cryptic to work directly for NCSoft. At the same time, NCSoft bought the CoH IP from Cryptic, and began licensing the engine/etc. used by CoH. CoH was then under the purview of "NCNorCal" which consisted essentially of the team that was hired away from Cryptic.|

NCNorCal became Paragon Studios later.
