Well, that and the fact that Microsoft was apparently canceling a certain number of games, some of which were known, and some of which weren't. Couple that with Cryptic selling their entire City of Heroes IP to NCSoft (and the entire CoH staff moving to NCSoft, into a new studio NCSoft set up for them), and then Cryptic shutting down their forums and blogs on their website, you end up with all sorts of speculation that the project, if not Cryptic itself, is dead.

There are also rumors going around that Cryptic is the new developer for the Star Trek MMO, after the previous developer lost the license, and then layed off a bunch of employees.
