I'm not talking about them shutting it down per se, but the realization that they could. I won't invest time creating characters, and playing them, unless it's an official version of the game. To me, NcSoft killed the game and has no intention of releasing the IP because of all the negative press generated by the community toward them. They are being jerks and will continue to do so until there is change at the top of the corporate structure. Hopefully, when that happens, the new regime will find it in their wisdom to release the game. At that point it comes down to who will invest in an aged IP. Not many companies will. Valve might do it for the microtransations in the marketplace, but I'm not sure anyone else will. Again, I wish the SaveCoH movement all the luck, but I'm putting my hopes on a Spiritual Successor now. Until a buyout occurs, which is likely at this point, nothing will change at NcSoft.
