If I was on that Team Hail Mary I'd be ready about now to do what the last Team Hail Mary did-- drop off the face of the earth in short order!
What a raucous is being raised here lately!
I honestly hope THeM stays quiet, without saying a single thing about anything today or on any other day until they have signed deal in hand, and meanwhile continues to work on saving CoH. And if it all falls through, we don't need any sort of explanation, information about who they really are, or anything. They should keep it all private and not have to listen to harassment, whining, demands, or become targets, which is just what's going to happen if they announce who they are, especially this early on in negotiations.
And I hope everyone involved, from THeM to Ironwolf to Robert on Facebook learns to keep things to themselves from now on. It's great that Ironwolf started the ball rolling, but in hindsight he told too many people too much and for way too long-- the whole Robert Debacle wouldn't have happened never mind the Massively article if no one knew anything. There would have been nothing to talk about. And Robert clearly went way over the line threatening to blab his secondhand info if THeM didn't come forth today. Robert has done no work whatsoever on the NCSoft deal and went off the deep end wanting attention and glory despite it. He runs a FB page, and nothing more. (Someone making death threats to him over it was crazy, though.)
Here's hoping everyone honestly tries to forget there even is any sort of attempt at buying CoH or the IP for CoH2. Let's all just chill out and go back to life as we know it! Clearly there is no deal or NCSoft would have announced it. Let's just leave this Mystery Team alone, stop talking about it, and wait for a potential outcome. If CoH gets sold, we'll all hear about it in short order. Before that, nothing more needs to be said.
