The NCSoft representative who called for the show of hands was Stephen 'Rockjaw' Reid, who was co-presenting Melissa's talk. I didn't name him at the time because I didn't know who he was.
There was NO suggestion that villain-only content was going to be scrapped altogether.
The point being illustrated by the show of hands (as I understood it) was that since the majority of people played heroes, it made most sense to have a lot of new content that included both sides rather than excluding the largest one.

Nowhere was it said, nor implied, that villains won't be getting exclusive content of their own any more. We already know they will, in Issue 12.
'Streamlined' content that includes both Heroes and Villains is clearly going to be a big part of the future, because it makes sense to make a lot (that doesn't mean ALL!) of the content accessible to heroes. But nobody ever said it was going to be all of the future.
Rockjaw should be doing an interview with me soon, so he can comment on this (and I'm sure he will!) I'm concerned that people are still seeing all sorts of meanings in this article that just weren't there at the event. It was a blast, and the response from all sides was positive.
