Clearly the developers have put forward an EULA that has been through I don't want to guess how many lawyers. And I surely wouldn't want to mess with that. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like a really stupid thing to do. Which brings me to the point.
As I've been mentioning, a new group is harassing, extorting, and overall bullying the Eve Online miners in Hi Sec.
This group has also seen fit to declare the EULA ineffective, and have written their own version of what is acceptable conduct in game. http://www.minerbumping.com/p/the-code.html
Ok, so lets put this into perspective. The guy behind this is a worshipper of the Goons. Fairly obvious. Reports have it that the leader of the Goons is in real life a lawyer. So... here we have an in game leader, former head of the CSM, and a person that drunkenly tries to inspire people to push an unstable player to suicide. Now we have him endorsing and supporting a person who is putting forward his own version of the EULA?
How far out of control does it sound like these people are? And even more frighteningly, how many more weeks or months are the developers going to let these people try to force a modified version of the EULA down player's throats. If nothing else, you'd think the developers would at least protect their EULA even if they decide to continue allow wanton player abuse.... Really... Sad just doesn't cover this situation..
Till the next time, Fly Safe :)
To the Devs: Eve is a great game. You've done a hell of a job building it and maintaining it. I just hope that these words will ring a bell. Its a sandbox yes... and people can do what they want... but surely there must be some limits?
