NCSoft takes a beating on its home turf

And now, your moment of schadenfreude: A Korea Times article calls the closing of City of Heroes "unethical."

Admittedly, I don't think it's a matter of ethics; I think it's simply a dumb business decision.   But the fact remains that when Mercedes Lackey called it unethical, the paper printed it as the headline.

I find it delicious that the bad press from this poor decision has followed them home. And oh look, their stock price is still falling:  it started at 158,500 Won and plummeted to 141,000 in the span of a day. (It's since recovered slightly to 147,000.)

Coincidence that this happened the day after the article came out?  You tell me.
