So, what we must do is make them see that closing CoH is the more expensive solution. It presents an opportunity cost of many hundreds of millions in increased spending to undo negative publicity that can affect not just future sales, but also the base share values of the company too. Remember how in the figures we've seen the entire Western market was only around 5% of all revenue for NCsoft? Well, share values have fallen 6% since the closure notice. If they could be persuaded that it was the closure of CoH that had caused that, well, it means that they lost 6% to make about 2%. In other words, it would be cheaper for them to have run all their Western market for free, no profit at all, than to lose 6% of their share value.
Suggestion 5: So, here's how we force that decision. Keep talking about this. More importantly, keep spreading the news about those who are. Link to stories from your own websites, facebook profiles, twitter posts, etc. All of these things mean that search engines see these stories as more important, more widespread. That in turn makes those stories and site rank higher in searches for relevant words like "NCsoft" or "MMO" etc. Meaning that when people search for 'NCsoft' as well as finding the official homepage, and some share prices, etc, there will be all the negative press we are creating. Stories about how NCsoft have a questionable reputation, making ill-considered decisions. Right where people who were investing in NCsoft shares (or games) were searching.
This is what i will be focusing on the most. Everyone here can link articles - i'm sure that very many have - but if it is done in sufficient numbers and search engines start displaying negative results for NCSoft then that has to be worth a great deal to us.
[edit] - the 2 paragraphs at the top are from Ammons post early in this thread, sorry - not so good at taking a part of it and having it display properly....
