That is absolutely PERFECT logic. Because obviously, Cryptic saw how much negative feedback they got from Champions Online (much of which I believe is pretty silly; lack of content for a brand new mmo? That's to be expected.) and they so very much want that same reception for Star Trek Online.

Perfect example of this, only backwards is Rare. Before xbox, Rare made good games, everybody (xbox fans I mean) cheered when Microsoft bought out Rare thinking that new, quality games like Banjo Kazooie and Conkers would become xbox exclusives. Well, what did xbox get, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo, Viva Pinata (won't lie, this one was actually pretty decent-ish), and a port of Conkers. Company went from making quality gold to craptacular games in the span of a single game.
Rare =/= Cryptic

and you're forgetting the Bill Roper factor.
