Yep, typing "EVE" in Google right now pops up EVE website as the first choice, and Escapist story as the second link. Good going, guys... Sad

Great. Now the story has expanded to CCP being complicit. I don't know if CCP should rush to judgement or if the damage is already done and CCP should take its time to develop a thought out response.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

FYI, I just sent it to the AP also. I'm looking to see if any "real" news agencies will take it up. Hilarity will ensue if they do...

The Escapist ran primarily with the message from Kestrel and a response from CCP. At Massively we watched the talk and cited the exact words used. This is not a fake story.
