I know I'm not good at this, but I'll try and simplify what's happening.
Hobson's choice is essentially fraud that works like this:
If I missed anything or that doesn't really simplify it, someone let me know. |

The suit said if Garriott was terminated by NCsoft, the options would remain in effect until June 2011.

But but but...
guess scenario conversation 1: ncsoft: We have decided that its time we part company with you. (ask Richard to agree to part company) Richard: No, I don't want to part company with you. (Richard is reluctant) ncsoft: The vote is unanimous, the decision is final. (Ncsoft is adamant) Richard: Ya, whatever, if it come to that, i guess I'll leave. (Richard finally agrees) ncsoft: Here you are, we've already draft an open letter for you, to inform the gaming community. Please read it carefully, if there's no problem, we'd like to publish it immediately. Richard reads Richard: Ya whatever, pursuing other interest sound good.(He agrees) news spread through the gaming community. if that is the case he did agree to leave voluntarily guess scenario conversation 2: ncsoft:We have decided its time you leave the company. (ask Richard to agree to part company) Richard: I'll never leave the company, its my life's work! (Richard disagrees strongly) ncsoft: But you did not deliver, and the decision is final. (Ncsoft is adamant) Richard: I will never leave, thats' final. (Richard disagrees strongly) ncsoft: The decision is final! You have no say over it. (Ncsoft is adamant) Richard: Fine, I guess you'll have to fire me then. I won't leave voluntarily. (Richard disagrees strongly) ncsoft: By the way, can you approve for us to publish this letter of you leaving the company to the gaming community. (Ncsoft tries to get Richard to sign the open letter) Richard: Screw you. (Richard disagrees strongly) ncsoft publish the open letter anyway. news spread through the gaming community. *Disclaimer: none of the above actually took place, it's merely some kind of a speculative fan-fiction. |

If that idiot wins, or worse ... I suggest Anet looks for a better publisher. Otherwise NCSoft 'flag titles' such as Aion and GW2 will introduce more and more and more and more microtransactions to pay for dying company. At least, it's the way I'm looking at it.
