There was a thread on the video game board of 4chan concerning the closure of MMOs (don't judge me, I've no doubt some of you are in that very thread too) and this came up.
They also mentioned that anyone at NCsoft West or Carbine would say the same thing about that being the reason behind closure.
Obviously anything said there should be taken with a grain of salt as people often play pretend and make things up.
Any why are we giving these guys publicity?
But since it's here, one theory about the reason is as good as the next. Well anything beyond NCSoft "realignment" reason course since they are the only ones that know the true reason and either chose to or that is the reason. But like I could tell you the reasons of me being here and the reason for me being who I am, it could al be a figment of imagination I wrote and honed for years to pass off as truth or it could e as true as the sky is blue. No one knows but me, just no one knows the reason besides NCSoft for the reasons of their actions. The rest are just theories that people make up to fit the mood they are in at the time and whether or not they feel the actions were right or wrong, aka, if they was going to do wrong action as they view NCsoft it is a reason they would do it and thus in their mind it must be the reason that NCSoft did it since viewed by them the action is wrong and if they was going to do such action their reason would be the reason they assigned to NCSoft. But seeing not much evidence that NCSoft reason was a lie seeing as how they seem to be doing quite a bit of realignment, then it could be assumed to e true just as it's assumed that people are truly as hurt about losing COX as they say they are or it could be a farce just as much as anyone statements online can be.
The point is? Who knows besides the person who committed the action? People can speculate create reasons, theories tin foil hat, make it into a conspiracy, the truth of the matter is that no one outside NCSoft knows the actual true reason. With that said, it's all surmising either way and thus there is no such thing as right or wrong surmising, thinking or inferring without certain or strong evidence, which would impossible to show for certain outside being the person or persons that made that decision.
