So we've established that you folks don't actually care about the developers of the game - it really comes down to you getting your CoH fix. Evidence: My question elicited responses of "ONOZ THEY MIGHT CHANGE THINGS", not "That'd be freakin' BS! Those poor devs!"
So much for the sense of community.
Huh? Look at the recent posts. Sense. Your post makes none.
Angry_Citizen, I will miss your hyperbole. ;_;

At this point SOE is the best option for the DEV team , since NCSOFT is out .
And without the DEV TEAM , or another big bidder that will not interfer with the DEV teams plans , SOE does have a long term none interference program , as long the income are steady .
It is when the income are less then expected , or dipping they interfer , but with the current DEV team , I have 100% trust they know what they are doing .
So while have my doubts for different reasons , it is one of the beter options , if NCSOFT allows it .
Everything boils back down to NCSOFT again grrrr.....
I guess thats the thing. there is not much rational reason to not allow it. throwing it in the trash gets them negligible money(maybe sell the office furniture and computers) or get paid and give it up. From my non professional viewpoint it would be needlessly spiteful not to sell rather than scrap.

Need to correct myself: SoE is located in San Diego, California. Still 8 hour
Drive apart, but should SoE demand relocation of the team, the move would be way less intrusive.

If my suspicions are right, NCSoft is in dire need for money to continue operations through this quarter. |
This hero has not lost hope just yet!
But that is one awesome hopeful rumor indeed. Makes me feel we're not alone out here. That many people are trying to save Paragon City. *looks content*
We won't go down without a fight!
