it is a sad, sad story in that it ends in the loss of that which was once a beloved and enjoyable thing.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

Yep. I'm not sure the slope is so slippery that there's a significant risk of something like that happening in EVE (especially as that sort of monitization scheme only seems to be popular in Asia), but that is a hell of a story.

I would have to agree, especially given the reaction to the NEX store and internal magazine/memo/"greed is Good" debacle...
