I wonder who Anet is going to get to publish GW2, that is if they are still planning on continuing development.

It doesn't mean that they aren't publishing anymore. Belonging to an organization that charges a high membership fee for a company that has had its profits sliced in 1/2, it only makes sense to cut costs there.

There leaving the stupid ESA organization with their new nazi-manager. There not leaving the "game biz".

Even if NCSoft quits there are enough company that would instantly buy over ArenaNet
