As usual, a pretty funny write-up.

CCP acceded to player demands and changed their ridiculous update plans, even changing the plaque on the destroyed memorial to remember the riots as a new monument to the developer's true victory.

To this day, the "New Jita Memorial" is still regarded as a monument to the players' triumph, proving that Crowd Control Productions:

a) are very well named.

b) make the Matrix Architect look like a goddamn amateur.

Just remember at one point we thought that they were incredible. I come from the era of Atari and when you truly think about how much progression there has been in that time period it really is amazing.

Article is pretty accurate. While people were shooting that statue, I took it to the next level and unsubsribed to tell CCPs wallet I did not like them anymore.

Oh you wanna go there eh. I can match that with the Alpha Micro AM100. I remember ours had 3 games; Boxing, Horse racing, and Star Trek. Boxing was essentially a story mode with 4 options between paragraphs, and the horse racing and Star trek used numbers for graphics.

I played pong on the original set you connected to your TV with 300-ohm twin-lead.

lol, these youngsters. Back in my day we didn't have that stuff. Me and my friends Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn would have to make due with pretending we were captains of the ferries on the Mississippi river. Ah, good times.
