NCSoft Q2 Results

[Morvelaira]

While I'm very much a gamer, and into all things MMO, I'm still educated as an Accountant. That means, anytime I see financial information relating to gaming, I have to take a closer look. Have to ensure the health of my favorite companies, after all.

NCSoft has released their Q2 results (a little late - Q2 did end in June) and there's mixed to good results. Sales went up, but Net Income went down, due to a lot of investments they're making right now.

If those investments pay off, it will be a very good thing for them.

Investments with game companies typically means upcoming projects. We know that there are two new unannounced NCsoft games in development in the US...let's hope these turn out great!

While hearing Tabula Rasa's name mentioned on this report does look to be a better sign, the rumor that it may be handed over to Arena-Net is not. I honestly don't think A-Net can handle the needs of the game as it will need to be to improve the subscription base. A-Net tends to be one tracked, and they have been rather blunt through the last year of saying that all of their focus is going into Guild Wars 2. In fact, as many people who play Guild Wars can attest to, it has become their tag line to being too busy with GW2 to fix issues in GW1.
