Well i do believe with the announcement of Legion, CCP has admitted to not sustaining a continually growing FPS that interacts with EvE online. This breaking of contractual obligument by CCP is ground for person's who have paid for a game to sustain the growth of the game on a SONY platform to ask for their money back. Also, if so necessary, they may ask for compensation for their time wasted in this same game, which for many is well over 1000 manhours.

So anyone with me on attempting to take on these Icelandic pieces of ****?

Good luck forming a "class".

It's harder than it sounds.

Very true Mobius. Doing that will require a large amount of people willing to sign on, and often involves many or all of them sharing or somehow splitting the legal fees, plus a judge has to approve it. When it comes to time compensation, this would be a little more difficult in this scenario as the courts would view this as something which was not mandatory and an activity of enjoyment. It's not like it would be someone suing for something that was essential, such as insurance or banking which did not adhere to contracts. If anything, people would only be able to gain partial or total refunds.

And the total amount "won" by such a trial could end up being a lump sum distributed evenly to all participants in the suit.

Now a very angry and Bitter Vet. CCP, you have further solidified my views that corporations are corrupt POS's.

No, CCP may not be based here in the US, but they have to have certain licenses to run servers over here and have transactions with residents. Now a very angry and Bitter Vet.

Heres the problem, in order to sue someone, they MUST live in the same country. Unless your willing to go to Iceland, and file there. CCP has cut all ties with USA development. Here is what you CAN do, For free! File complaints with Federal trade commission, and your Attorney general. If enough complaints are filed, ACTION WILL be taken. What CCP did, is ILLEGAL! The whole thing was a ponzi scheme. They will NOT get away with it. This is basically how I equate this recent ordeal. CCP and Dust is almost identical to a corporation with shareholders. The difference is the shareholders in here are those who purchase in game items such as boosters and other things. Just like when buying stocks, there's no option which says you have to or are forced. Same goes for Dust. However, people willingly invested in this game based upon CCP's roadmap and projections of Dust for the future, especially within the last month. Just like with a corporation, people take a look at management and earnings reports, and company futures, and decide whether they want to invest. Basically what CCP did here is identical to what we saw with Enron, except on a much smaller scale. They told the investors one thing, and did the exact opposite. They provided false projections of the game's future. To make the analogy more clear, just like Enron reported and told investors they were receiving record profits while hiding losses in offshore accounts, CCP did the same thing with Dust development. Instead of telling the player base of the plans to implement everything that we wanted into Dust 514, such as a player market, PvE, and a better interface but those things were not doable on the PS3 (which the majority of people in here already widely accepted), they gave a false overlay of their plans. This wouldn't have even been so bad, but this whole time, even while they encouraged people to buy boosters and stack SP these last two months, they were fully working on Legion already. Now what do you call that? I call it blatant lies. You told the player base one thing and did another. And just like Enron when they told people to buy stocks due to falsely inflated profit margins from hiding losses offshore, you actively ENCOURAGED people to invest in Dust even though this was the end of it and people's characters would immediately become useless. Now a very angry and Bitter Vet. CCP, you have further solidified my views that corporations are corrupt POS's.

Yep, had that happen awhile ago from our bank with overdraft charges (which we actually never had). They charged exorbitant fees to account holders and then got sued. We got a whole big total of $8.76 lol. Now a very angry and Bitter Vet. CCP, you have further solidified my views that corporations are corrupt POS's.
