I too read what VV and Fansy said about legal complications. About a week or so ago someone on Virtue was talking about that over the LFG channel and I boiled my response down to "I'll believe it when I see it". Eventually the person who was really touting this rumor accepted my viewpoint even if they didn't completely agree with it.
You see, NCSoft has a habit, nay, a history of killing games and then sitting on the IP. I'm a skeptic, and one who believes in studying what history teaches us. Sure, people can change, companies too can change, but its relatively rare. Usually they keep doing the same things, again and again, until their hubris and lack of foresight trip them up in some fashion. Sometimes the trip-up is minor, sometimes its devastating.
So yeah, until that rumor becomes truth, its just another unconfirmed bit of info: what we in TransFormers fandom somewhat mockingly refer to as "SECRET INSIDE SOURCES". In the case of VV, I respect her, unlike some info-spouting fanboy that nobody knows from Adam. As such I do not doubt her sincerity, clout, or intent. However she's a messenger in this particular case, and the message could be flawed.
So, as I have said elsewhere: time will eventually tell the tale, as it does in all things.
