Frankly, I think Somer's blantant RMT cash out is EXACTLY what CCP deserves for being stupid enough to give SOMER a plug in the first place.

CCP you got had, you got scammed, and now you look really dumb.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Giving them the plug is what alerted folks to the underhanded backroom dealings that they were up too.

CCP where "GREED IS GOOD" shut off the intelligence and decency warnings in the corporation profit seeking governor(A feedback device on a machine or engine that is used to provide automatic control), that was specifically installed to avoid such horrifically inept screw ups.

So, how long until Somer starts a twitch channel? That seems to be the new CCP-approved way to RMT.

There's this twitch channel*, where the owner does plex for subscriber raffles. CCP frequently visits his stream chat and they have never objected to the raffles, thereby implicitly approving of them.
There's this forum thread**, where said streamer openly admits to said plex for subscribers program. ISD frequently visits this thread removing any mention of RMT but leaving the thread open, thereby implicitly approving it.

i'm actually hoping their big announcement next week is that CCP and Somer are matching all player plex donates in the drive to help the Philippines. that would do a lot to help restore their image as a service that gives back to the community. after all the isk they gave away during their cashout, followed by slowing down their celebration giveaways, i'm sure they have the isk bankroll to be able to do this. it would do a lot towards reconciliation imo.

Yes, because throwing money at the Philippines is magically going to unmake what they did.

So...stickies have been removed, deadline has passed, CCP-sanctioned RMT "is no more".

When do we get an official statement from CCP?
