Might THIS have something to do with our end?

I don't see how. I doubt an 8 year old super hero MMO interfered with any of their games. Maybe they had some say on telling NC Soft to make some changes to get them out of the red, being a large shareholder, and that lead to them dumping CoH. I somehow doubt that there are any underhanded conspiracies afoot with the shut down except for just the management of NC Soft making some arguably poor financially decisions that have greatly affected us and either they are desperate to get out of the red and/or they have NO idea how to shut down an IP gracefully.

Don't you see? It's Pearl Harbor all over again man! Only this time the Japanese are going after our video games! Call the CIA and tell them NCSoft is hiding weapons of mass destruction and shutting down CoH was a terrorist plot. It's such an obvious fabrication that they'll take it as the gospel truth and send in the Marines to keep the game running.

Who knows. Maybe it did maybe it didn't.

As the largest shareholder, they quite possibly had *something* to do with the decision, yes. That doesn't mean they were the driving force behind it, or any such thing; for all we know, they could have been on our side (a 14.7% share is still easily a minority).
