Glad to see the CEO of SOE has much in common with the common folk and hops in a Drake instead of some "look at me I`m fabulous and fly 6bill pirate battleships".

What is it right now.... 500 mil per plex now. Thats $15 bucks for every two battleships you blow up (rough guess). Thats someones money you are burning through if you do it non-conensually.


I haven't ever spent any real life money on this game. I know thousands who don't either.

When I lose a drake or a scorpion, I don't see it as: omg I just lost half a PLEX! All because there's a pseudo isk/$ conversion rate because of PLEX doesn't make this some kind of currency simulation.

I play games to have fun, relax, unwind, etc. too many people worked up over bitcoins ITT and in this game.

The point is: trying to tie the CEO of an online entertainment company to the virtual sins of The Mittani and Goonswarm is a ridiculous stretch. He isn't even in GSF he's in the Honeybadger Coalition. Roll

I'd like to kill him for screwing up SWG.


Then I'd go and give him ISK for owning up to it.

i didn't bother looking at the history because it's safe to assume that you penned basically every nullsec-related evelopedia article

It is if you buy all your toys with PLEX, otherwise your money goes into your sub and all you lose when you die is a bunch of pixels you bought with points.
