agreed, theres a lot more evidence supporting our cause so if they try to turn it around they would not look good on their part

Poor Carbine.  I was really looking forward to Wildstar.
That's pretty much the cherry on top of this sundae of suck.

Quote from: V-Mink on December 12, 2012, 06:39:36 AMIs there the possibility that, should NCsoftcore decide to "recoup" its "losses" and drop said axe on Carbine, that they will spin it as the fault of the once-and-future COHmmunity?  Or would that be too blatantly Sirrocco-level chutzpah?

EA at some point, blamed the failure of SWTOR on 4chan...

Yes, I just saw a thread there about how they were going to hack Titan network and unbold the "g" in your post.

OMG they did it! 0_o
If you see me posting here, you need to tell me to stop it and get back to writing.

How on earth would that even be possible? No one playing CoX is making management-level decisions at NCSoftheaded. It would be hilarious if they tried though, because if anything said "Keystone Cops - level stupidity," that right there would be it.

The sad thing is that hash they are going to make out of thousands of people's lives, all really for nothing. I say thousands, because everyone who will be affected comes with a family affected by the job loss, too.

Everyone at Carbine now: run for the freaking hills.

ArenaNet: watch your backs.

Maybe it's the same bot that's
influencing the MMOSite votes.



(God, that looks obnoxious...)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Either NCSoft is buying back its own stock at what they hope will be the bottom rate, or the market is reacting like lemmings to what they think is a positive move.  The market reacts like lemmings to what it perceives as any sort of "movement" with a company, short of declaring bankruptcy.  I have never understood this.

Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

The average stock investor is the twitchiest, most reactionary beast on the planet. They make rabbits look calm and serene in the face of danger.
The bet definition I have ever heard about stock trading comes from the film 'Trading Places'. In that film they basically equate stock trading to gambling. A quick look here;

Something like this may be happening with the NCSoft stock. In fact, I would be willing to bet that it is..

Say, one dollar? ...  ;)
