NCSoft - Several Very Interesting developments in quick succession
 
#13
That was their previous debacle, with Tabula Rasa. Short story is that they wanted to shut down the game. Rather than go through all the red tape they forged a closure and resignation letter from Garriott while he was actually out taking a private space tour, done in part to promote the game, ironically. When Garriott got back and found out, he sued them (and won) because the forged resignation would have lost him a good chunk of money in stock options, which was still worth something back then.

There's bad blood between NCSoft and the Western Markets, but I don't think that was directly involved in the closure of CoH. It might have contributed by way of past experience, though.
