Via a post by Mercedes Lackey on the Titan Forums about this very subject that may make you feel a little bit better about this:
Quote:It is a PR firm's job to get hysterical about anything that is said
about their company that is not good and/or not marching in line with
the company statements.
That said, NCSoft is well aware that they
can make all of this go away if they sit down and negotiate nicely and
let someone else buy/maintain CoH.
They assumed we would go away when they said "End of game", take their credit-on-another-game and go away quietly.
We did not.
They assumed we would go away when a week had passed. We made more noise.
They assumed we would go away when two weeks had passed. We are still making noise.
They
assume we will go away if they give us real money back. Some people
want to do that.
But this is a game of Stare Down and they just
blinked.
We need to start showing them that we are just more than a bunch of game-dweebs who don't know how to do anything but whine.
