Breaking News - NCSoft Austin Remains Open, Reports of Closure Incorrect

[Cody Bye]

Here's what we've found out from the officials over at NCsoft Austin:

We are announcing that 21 positions are being eliminated in the Austin office of NCsoft in the area of product development. Primarily this is related to products which we have not previously announced and were in prototype phases. We are also cutting some positions on the Dungeon Runners team after deciding not to port the client to other platforms at this time.

- David Swofford, PR Director for NCsoft North America

What do you guys think of all the rumor mongering that was occurring before the official announcement? What will come of all the blatant misreporting? Will we see some lawsuits coming up?

Let us know!

Does that mean those "unannounced" games are not in development any more?

Sounds like it, but I have no idea. Anything that's unannounced probably has a five year NDA, so we won't be hearing about it for awhile.
