If I had been on the CPM I would have already known that the DEVs have good intentions for us players heading towards Legion.

I would have also known that Legion is hardly anything but a concept at this point, and that anything they release at Fanfest could possibly never happen.

And finally I would also know that Dust 514 will still be worked on and updated for months to come because of the way I would see the dedication to Dust that the DEVs still have.

However, CCP probably didn't expect a reaction like this. They revealed it in a way that was supposed to make us surprised and excited, but they worded it and explained it in a way that made many players very angry. They also did it without any explanation as to the things that us players wanted to know in the first place, and without a reassuring gesture.

Miscommunication, not being prepared for all possible outcomes, and not communicating effectively led to what has happened. Let's just be glad they actually gave us some more detailed answers within a few hours rather than days or weeks.

its debatable.

Integredity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.

In analogy the cpm is holding on the rope between the community and a bottomless pit and I can never forgive myself if I let go of that rope of my own voilation.

As ex military I have seen far too many folks ways of life ending because the lack of integredity; sometimes a job, sometimes a limb, somtimes a life all because they or somone else did not do that one extra step; not standing that post; and not seeing something through to completion.

Skipping steps; quitting post, and abandoning supervision is simply not my style.

So. You would break legal contract over that? I'm sorry but that's not legit. People aren't dying. The government isn't issuing some conspiracy. There's no schools burning. They had other ways to try to get them to listen. They could've just resigned like someone else said. If it was as simple as the NDA that they gave us back in closed beta, then sure, but I'm more than sure there's some actual heavy penalties here.

NDA does not cover a companies responsibilities.
Just yours.

You hear from CCP about PC version; you spill the beans on the forums and quit (or you get blackslited; order doesnt matter most likely your post would have been instantly sanitized)

Chances are you're going to be positing in a highly similar manner as you are today; in this rather enraged state of being betrayed.

Community Rages.

CCP comes out with more offical and more up to date details and makes you look stupid as part of thier damage control and they would do it.

And at that point watch how quickly the community turns on you

Watch the developers abandon the entire community at all levels as you broke thier trsut

And after you destroyed the cpm; any future elections; councils; or isd programs; and the game in one feel swoop as likely any future game cannot seem to surivive well without developers trusting the playerbase.

Would you be able to actually argue that in court? I'm actually in belief of what you say but I HIGHLY doubt that a team of lawyers wouldn't be able to get them out of it and put the blame on you.

You also have to realize I cannot go around breaking NDA contracts; that would lead to my own loss of my own top secret clearance. FBI takes that **** seriously.

Also if the NDA was that insignificant why didnt Caz spill the beans? he resigned and yet didn't say anything. I dont think that makes him hero material either.

Whether I care about IWS's FBI claim or not, he's right in that breaching even a 'trivial' NDA will have consequences outside of the domain it existed in. I ain't giving roles involving confidentiality to anyone who was contractually bound to one thing and did another.

They continue to be silent which only serves to hurt us more. Some honesty would go a long way right now but they won't even do that. They really need to look into how they treat their customers and fans because to put it mildly it is crap.

The CPM knew about PC before it came out. They KNEW!

So what are you saying? The CPM has done nothing different than what they have been doing and what they should be doing. In their position they did what was agreed upon as part of signing.

You guys continously pointing fingers instead of acting like mature adults and understanding the other side of the coin aka placing yourself in other people's shoes to come to an understanding.

It's impossible to even reason with some of you. You didn't get what you want so feel you just been wronged. That's bratty.

Probably because he is a normal person and not a sociopath?

This thread... really just needs to be locked.

It was kind of funny at first but now its just sad...

I still think a structure like the CPM\CSM is needed. Not especially now or regarding the recent events but generally speaking.
No matter how it ended, it was a pleasant experience and with some solid involvment from the devs, it actually works. Or at least, it doesnt hurt.
