I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out, but there is one thing that NCSOFT isn't lying about: "The studio was unprofitable before the shutdown."
Let me explain this bit of truth twisting rhetoric - They are quite correct, COH did not earn them any profit for 3 months before the shutdown. It's twisted logic, but the "shutdown" didn't happen when they announced it on August 31st, it happened when the servers were shut off November 30th. Not only were they not collecting subscription fees from us, they were refunding some of us, and had to pay out severance to the laid off Paragon Studio employees, while still pay rent for the building that housed them, etc.
That's hardly COH, or Paragon Studios' fault, and certainly isn't ours. NCSOFT is just desperately trying to disarm us with half truths and lies.
