You are a fool.

'For the curious, this was the final written proposal confirmed via e-mail, finalized March 26th.'

This was linked with the above statement: http://cogdev.net/blink/affiliate.rtf

'Justification: Blink provides no extra ISK or bonus Blink credit for buying through the link.'

She lied in the proposal that was approved.

This is nothing but a terrible attempt at screwing over CCP.

All because CCP can't get their own act together they tried to break the very clear rule against RMT on multiple occasions, even going so far as to lie to CCP execs about what they were doing.
Fixed.
Let's not sugercoat what it is they were doing, ok? It just sounds insincere.

Let me present the other side.

Unfortunately, as of today, Blink is going to go on extended-- perhaps indefinite-- hiatus. CCP has gone back on everything they said several months ago, and the resulting environment is so hostile that it's not one we want to try to operate in, if CCP throws us under the bus.

Can we please have a simple yes or no from CCP about this? They are accusing CCP of explicitly permitting this, but they have not said clearly either way if this is the truth.

Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

Really Sion did this because of Shutupandshave's terrible gambling habit. Suas has literally sunk thousands of dollars into Someblink. So we did an intervention in the one way we knew how.

"Hey friends,

Thanks for all the years of Blink that we've spent together. It's been a long four years-- some of it longer than others!

If you have prizes waiting, they will be fulfilled. You can claim prizes as normal. Bonk tickets have been refunded to your account balance. We will begin refunding all account balances of people that have played in the last 6 months, starting with balances over 10 million ISK. As always, we're not in the business of stealing your money.
It's been an absolute pleasure to meet many of you, through Blink, Eve, and our lotteries channel. Thank you for the experience."

Wonder what happens to that big pile of ISk he has?

Remember when Erotica1 realized he'd probably get banned and decided to bonus room himself and pod himself and give away all his isk? Hmm, this seems like exactly the same thing. You messed up big this time, SOMERblink.

It's so satisfying watching all the people, who last year were saying about "all the tears" and "cry babies go back to WoW", in regard to people complaining about Somer Blink, now be the ones crying because their favourite gambling site has had to close up shop.
What comes around, goes around in this case. Amusing.

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

CCP is going to lose a lot of PLEX sales and possibly subscriptions as a result of BLINK closing

If anything this is what is actually "screwing them over"

No they won't, there will still be the same demand and same supply price as always.

Blink is love, Blink is life.
Why do you destroy it with such might?
Damn you goonswarm Federation, you took the best out of the worst.
Blink was the greatest creation by eve playerbase, and u ruined it for good.
Thank you

lol

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

It's been proven that SOMERBlink was using shill accounts with vastly superior chances of winning Blinks, you really think they wouldn't use 'shill' accounts to make their public image during their demise (which is probably not a real demise but a cry for people to feel sorry for them and then make a miraculous return) look better?

Same as any other RMT or botting outfit then (many of which have attempted to inject the same silly argument to spread FUD about their being tossed out)? And yet, CCP is quite happy to get rid of those kinds of “customers” for some reason. It's almost as if it was a good policy to do so… Roll
