If I was working at NC Soft right now, I would be looking for another job (it is easier to find another job when you are in a job), but if NC Soft have brains they would sell out before they are down, and let EA buy them or something.

If they get as far as bankruptcy then the games could be sold off, and even the IP to COH could be bought by a competent company

I say if NC Soft goes down, all employees and the profitable games will still be OK and better off as chances are will be with a more competent company.

people get laid off after a game is finished, this has happened quite often with other devs too.

I'd say business as usual

Except their revenue is going down

Nov 13th when that post I linked to, they were in bad shape then at (169,000 KRW), now they are worse again (149,500 KRW)

What game finshed?

They laid off 80 employess with the closure of Paragon Studios, and now more layoffs within NC Soft themselves

no sympathy either. Never liked their methods on any game I tried by NC. Hidden cost everywhere. Not with me.

Also CoH shutdown shall not be forgotten.

I'm not seeing anywhere that this is because of shutting down CoH, though.

NCSoft is one of those companies that have built up a pretty bad reputation, to the point that having their name attached to a game makes it less appealing, regardless of who developed it.  Anyone remember the whole Richard Garriot, Tabula Risa mess?

Sadly, yes.  I played from launch to the day it was shut down.  I really liked aspects of that game.  But it needed much more development, to be a really good game.  But looking at NCsofts antics that came out during the trial (which NCsoft lost), I'd never, ever do business with them.
