To the Tune of "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"

(to the tune of "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon)

"We're going to shut your best game down," they said to me
"Not only that but we're going to do it callously
So we think, you'd best go say bye-bye to your City."
There must be better ways to shut the game down.

They said, "There's no logic in our reasons to conclude
It all belongs to us, so you can just go cut the attitude
But let's face it folks, y'all have just been screwed."
There must be better ways to shut the game down.
Better ways to shut the game down.

Leave it open to hack, Jack
Give us the plans, Stan
Please sell all the toys, Roy
Just listen to me.

You give it to us, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just sell the IP, Lee
And set it all free.

They said, "We don't care if this will cause you any pain
But we're NCSoft, so we hope you'll go and try our other games..."
I said, "You can shove all that, now can I please explain
About the better ways?"

They said, "We can tell that you are really not that bright
Just try out Guild Wars and you'll begin to see the light..."
So they screwed us all and insisted that game owners have the right.
There must be... better ways to shut the game down.
Better ways to shut the game down.

Leave it open to hack, Jack
Give us the plans, Stan
Please sell all the toys, Roy
Just listen to me.

You give it to us, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just sell the IP, Lee
And set it all free.

Leave it open to hack, Jack
Give us the plans, Stan
Please sell all the toys, Roy
Just listen to me.

You give it to us, Gus
Don't need to discuss much
Just sell the IP, Lee
And set it all free.

You had me bursting out laughing there.  Best, most concise quote on the CoH shutdown ever.   ;D
