All due respect to 'not hurt the little man' ideas re: NCSoft tanking, let me say this...
They work there. They rumormonger like the rest of us. They KNOW what's going on. If they stay, and the company tanks, then that's their own fault for not being proactive.
Yes yes... job market, economy... whatever. A bad company, and you stay? You're either getting paid to stay, love it so much you can't leave, or are stupid/shortsighted/scared witless. Probably a couple of other veins, but them three are prevaling.
I will not weep for any person involved with NCSoft if the company fails, as long as CoH is kept locked away in the vaults of NCSoft. They have choosen their beds and layed in them.
Let us not worry about 'the little people' of that company, because they can do that for themselves, and should.
/And yes, I've been one of those. It sucks, but life moves on.
//Did NCSoft think of 'the little people', meaning us, or the Studio? Nope. Not so much, methinks, or we'd all still be on, the Devs would still be in the Studio.
///Business is business... And that's all that is. NCSoft is now bad business, and stickin' around is... well, that's their problem, those 'little peoples.'
