Of the players. For the players... Or not.
The audacity to consider their self-importance so great as to throw all loyal Dust fans under the bus and allow us to waste real life money on a game they knew was going to die months before even some Devs knew. Their involvement in the development of this game has been detrimental at best since the beginning as they help sowed the seeds of its demise.
The cancelation of DUST PS3 development is not only CCPs failure but also CPM0s failure. Nova Knife attests that he was so mad when he heard the knews that we all heard at fanfest. So mad he did absolutely nothing to save the friends and fellow players of DUST for months. He coward in the shadows afraid to lose his position of being lap dog to CCP.
It's easy for him to talk a big game now and pretend to side with all of us when in reality he is no better than the developers that threw us under the bus. I find the complete lack of character disgusting, no one had the guts to stand up and say enough is enough or resign to make a point.
They chose to obey rather than represent us. I am more disappointed with the CPM than CCP because I can understand at least that CCP operates as a business for profit reasons. CPM was here to help us, the players and CCP to realize the dream that was DUST514.

NDA. Legally binding contract is terrifying. Sure you can say "they should have broken it because this was important!" but the world can't work that way. Lawful Neutral...
The fact of Legion is not terrible. It hurts but it isn't terrible. The lack of information and zero respect that CCP have given to us, customers, is shockingly terrible.

At least the CPM told CCP they were being beyond f*cking stupid telling us on Fanfest, and warned them not to do so.
I'm really curious what moron thought it was a good idea. I'm assuming that's NDA too though...

Those who've never dealt with CAs/NDAs are lucky. They fckuing suck. On the plus side it makes me very attractive to be a corporate espionage target.

They aren't devs, just unpaid consultants essentially.
This is all on CCP.
I can't imagine trying to be a CPM through this, I would like to imagine I would have resigned in protest, but its easy for me to say so from looking from the outside.
That doesn't detract from the fact that this whole mess is detestable and was avoidable.
Just don't be silly enough to believe the CPM could have stopped it if they wanted to.

This is the only possible course of action they could have taken because:
A. It would not break the NDA
and
B. IT would be an unmistakable signal to the playerbase that something was wrong.
Instead they did nothing, and became complicit in the theft of real life money that has been perpetrated over the last 6 months. CPM are just as much thieves in their in-action as the developers who misrepresented the future of the game to increase profits.

I don't know the quote about dust 514 being a plane about to crash and its due to a bad engine, and dust is dead came from they can't change the engine of a failing plane mid flight.

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.

I don't understand why they should step down. This is literally the best thing that CCP could have done regarding the ground combat side of new eden, as CPM at least they could help voice community concerns and make the transition smoother. Their purpose was to help facilitate the relationship between CPM and CCP Shanghai, I don't see how acting like 13 year olds and ragequitting would have done any good.
That CCP Shanghai waited until Fanfest to say anything is not the fault of the CPM, they tried their best to get CCP to say something earlier.
That CCP is running events for their own free to play product is just business. If you spent money on Dust only because you were hoping it would become Legion is no fault of anyone but yourself. You buy products in a free to play game because of it what it is now not what it might become in 3-4 years.
Projecting your own hurt feelings onto the CPM is unproductive and childish.

That's exactly the problem - we weren't provided any facts, just a lot of maybe's, and that's after the outrage started.
The facts should be there from day 1, waiting "a few weeks" (which in CCP speak means at least two months) is irresponsible. That's like saying "you will be fired, but we still don't know when, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, but we already have the papers we only need to fill in the date" - would you stay at such a workplace or GTFO from there? |

Are there any adults on these forums? I was under the impression that teenagers were in the minority here.
Yes, okay, the reveal of Legion was about as bad a ****-up as BP's public relations after the Gulf oil spill, and I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say that.
There is no conspiracy.
There is no evil plot.
It's time to stop the rumormongering and get back to reality. I would be less inclined to respect CPM0 if they all just left because they didn't like CCP's plan for the reveal.
I'm glad they stayed where they were and kept trying to convince CCP to change their minds. Bailing out is a cheap move.

If I had been on the CPM I would have already known that the DEVs have good intentions for us players heading towards Legion. If you had been on CPM, you would also already have known that pushing Aurum sales while DUST is being abandoned was a horrible decision. I'm not saying they were wrong because they didn't INSTANTLY tell us about this the moment they heard Legion was being worked on. I'm saying they were wrong because THEY KNEW CCP WERE SCREWING CUSTOMERS. Up until the announcement, we were ALL being led to believe that DUST was going to continue on its 10 year plan and was in the process of moving to PS4. NOT moving to PC, which many players DON'T have up to date for gaming, but PS4, which a fair number of DUST players have bought, some specifically because we were looking forward to the next-gen version ON THE CONSOLE WE HAD BEEN TOLD IT WAS COMING TO.
Letting our characters continue on a new game is small comfort when we've already invested time and money into the wrong platform UNDER THE ADVICE OF CCP, and getting upset with people who SHOULD have warned us earlier is perfectly understandable. When they not only knew in advance, AND knew about the sales when they were happening, it was offensive and wrong for them not to leak that information.
Quote: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 this makes it even more baffling that they've transferred THE MAJORITY OF DUST'S DEV TEAM TO THE PROJECT instead of keeping the game running properly with competent support.
Quote: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. Most of which "updates" and "work" will be minor bug fixes and cleaning up the messes that have been months overdue for such treatment, and a large part of the delays is probably THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE TEAM ISN'T WORKING ON THE GAME ANY MORE.
Quote:However, CCP probably didn't expect a reaction like this.

Let's just be glad they actually gave us some more detailed answers within a few hours rather than days or weeks. They released it in the most incompetent way they possibly could have. They gouged paying customers in a manner that can only be seen as deliberate if you're willing to assume they have any competence as a business. I mean, I suppose there is a plausible-ish argument that every single staff member at CCP is completely insane. I seriously doubt it, even with this and Incarna to support the theory. |

Dust is not being abandoned.
As far as the announcement, not a single person on any side of the "discussion" will argue that that was the worst possible ****-up they could have made in announcing the project.
The complete lack of other information for several hours afterward was even worse, as it just poured more fuel on the rage.

This is some of the biggest bollocks I've read on the forums this weekend. There was conspiracy, there was an evil plot. That is the whole f***** point, for f***'s sake!
Read Ripard Teg's blog post: http://jestertrek.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/fanfest-day-two-red-wedding.html
Ripard was on the CSM, the EVE version of the CPM and he makes it plain that everyone at CCP knew for "months and months" that DUST was going to be abandoned. We were kept in the dark the whole time so that CCP could continue to make money from us. There's your f***** evil plot right there.
I wouldn't expect the CPM to break their NDAs but they should have resigned en masse when it became clear that CCP was intent on this path of fraud. That would have been the sign to us that there was something rotten in the state of Iceland. But the CPM did nothing. They just sat there. And even now, that class-A prick, Iron Wolf Sabre, continues to mock us and take the ****.
CCP and the CPM were both well out of order during this entire process. And until people realise and hold them 100% accountable for their f*** ups and outright frauds, we're all going to sleepwalk into exactly the same bollocks with Legion.

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.

You know, I might not been active enough on the forums to know the whole deal with the cpm0, I know pretty much no one on the forums likes Iron Wolf Saber, but I'm here seeing you active on the forums, but personally I never actually see you or anyone else from the cpm in public games. I just find that weird personally, the people representing us I don't even see playing, granted I never ran into any CCP ether.

When we didn't know about the MASSIVE change in direction that Legion is going to be, and you did, we "weren't looking" at what you were doing. When CCP knowingly encouraged players to help fund the vision we had previously been told about WHILE KNOWING IT WAS NO LONGER PART OF THE PLAN, we "weren't looking" for you to step forward with your information.
We, the people you were supposed to be representing, NEEDED YOU TO "DO THE RIGHT THING" AND TELL US WE WERE BEING DECEIVED.
You did NOTHING.
By your own definition, you DID NOT act with integrity in this case.
Clear, unambiguous statement: "If you don't either cancel/reverse the sale or go public with Legion IMMEDIATELY, I'm breaking NDA"
Follow through if change doesn't happen.
CPM failed us. It's that simple. |

You may want to familiarise yourself with what an NDA is. And the fact that this stagnant and deeply mediocre shooter is not worth being sued and/or possibly going to jail over. Depends on what was in the NDA. |

Instead they did nothing, and became complicit in the theft of real life money that has been perpetrated over the last 6 months. CPM are just as much thieves in their in-action as the developers who misrepresented the future of the game to increase profits.
This. QFT.

CPM are just as much thieves in their in-action as the developers who misrepresented the future of the game to increase profits. *grinds the palms of his hands into this face yet again* Can you all stop? Seriously? Are there any adults on these forums? I was under the impression that teenagers were in the minority here. Yes, okay, the reveal of Legion was about as bad a ****-up as BP's public relations after the Gulf oil spill, and I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say that. There is no conspiracy. There is no evil plot. It's time to stop the rumormongering and get back to reality. I would be less inclined to respect CPM0 if they all just left because they didn't like CCP's plan for the reveal. I'm glad they stayed where they were and kept trying to convince CCP to change their minds. Bailing out is a cheap move.
Have to agree. The thing is someone makes the decision above them and CCP has them only as a sounding board that seems more insignificant. You can change the engine but you can't change the reputation that'll follow as a result. Other game companies have owned up to building a bad game and wanting to "set it right". I've resounded before how Square Enix did just that and they had an even worse game on their hands to rebuild.
The CPM's may have been prevented from saying anything and, at the end of the day, it's still real people and while it's not like the ferry boat scene in the Dark Knight movie, it's still a bit of pressure to wear. The problem has and will lay with CCP; from **** poor public relations (the person who manages this should just be fired basically) to how they've managed to divide gamers in a game that really isn't holding it's own as anything special is almost like how HP said they won't make computers anymore; you have blunders and then you have "WTF".
The FPS market is tough and with Dust still trying to carve it's own identity into respectability, it's really hard to see how they can expect Legion to be a blockbuster. I could be wrong but if you have a bad coach and bad players, you don't have much hope for them and that's what CCP is giving us. I'm just astounded they are finding ways to shoot their foot more than once.
Yea Legion is in alpha but they managed to do some damage. How many epic games were announced right when BETA was launched? They never had to announce Legion in all honesty. But they did and it's gonna cost them. Strategically it would've been easier to hold off with Legion until they had something more. With WoD cancelled and Dust still around, it's not a very smart move unless they're desperate. |

That fact makes any enforcement of the NDA on those intentional lies of omission illegal. You can't enforce a contract which requires a person to break other laws to satisfy its conditions. The contract is null and void at that point, unless it includes a clause that maintains the contract EXCEPT THE PART WHICH WOULD BE ILLEGAL. So even if they included such a clause, the NDA would only apply to things which aren't required in order to reveal that CCP were trying to gouge us for money.
So yes, I would have absolutely no reservations in "breaking" a no-longer-legally-binding contract. None at all. |

NDA does not cover a companies responsibilities. Just yours.
So lets rewind and play this out.
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.

It's a ******* contract between them. It most likely has legal **** to it. Stop being dumb. A simple ban from the game means jack **** and isn't enough to hold people from saying or showing anything, evidence being all of the bans at the closed beta. A lot of the CPM care, but there's some of them that probably wouldn't give a damn about a lifetime ban.

Quote: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) You spill the beans in direct messages, either through the in-game messaging system or PSN itself to circumvent CCP's control, to a few people you know in the community AS WELL AS posting the news on the forums.
Just making a post that's going to vanish near-instantly isn't enough. You know that wouldn't work already.
Quote: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. That's not what I'd expect. It's exactly what I expected once the current situation broke, but if, BEFORE the sales, or THE MOMENT THE NEWS OF THE SALES WAS BROKEN, we were told "the plan is to move to PC, keep that in mind when spending your money"... I'm not seeing rage over that. The LACK of that information BEFORE AND DURING the sales is the main reason people are raging.
Quote: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 If you spilled that they're working on a PC build in preference to PS4, unless they change plans, they can't make you "look stupid" for telling us exactly that, and if they DO change their plans, well, you should remember something about "integrity" and "doing the right thing" here...

ZERO credibility.
Too hard to get a [email protected] account? So it was too hard to create a free website? Too hard to post a piece on that free website pointing out that since Commander Wang was gone did this then mean that Dust 514 was DEAD?
Foreward that website to Kotaku, Joystick, Gamasutra, Games Biz, Gamespot, et all and let them ask these questions to CCP?

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.

There's a LOT of legal precedent for contracts, including NDAs to be voided when the actions required were illegal.
There's also plenty of legal precedent for lies of omission to qualify as false advertising when something has been publicly announced as true then rescinded without a follow-up announcement. |

The audacity to consider their self-importance so great as to throw all loyal Dust fans under the bus and allow us to waste real life money on a game they knew was going to die months before even some Devs knew. Their involvement in the development of this game has been detrimental at best since the beginning as they help sowed the seeds of its demise.
The cancelation of DUST PS3 development is not only CCPs failure but also CPM0s failure. Nova Knife attests that he was so mad when he heard the knews that we all heard at fanfest. So mad he did absolutely nothing to save the friends and fellow players of DUST for months. He coward in the shadows afraid to lose his position of being lap dog to CCP.
It's easy for him to talk a big game now and pretend to side with all of us when in reality he is no better than the developers that threw us under the bus. I find the complete lack of character disgusting, no one had the guts to stand up and say enough is enough or resign to make a point.
They chose to obey rather than represent us. I am more disappointed with the CPM than CCP because I can understand at least that CCP operates as a business for profit reasons. CPM was here to help us, the players and CCP to realize the dream that was DUST514.

But the CPM0 knew! they KNEW!! And remained silent.
Those who know about a crime and remain silent are the same scum as those who did the crime.
There was no excuse to remain silent since in todays world of deletable emails, free websites and inquisitive reporters all that was needed was a simple speculative post on a free website to get news hungry reporters after CCP demanding details.

Caz tried harder than you did to get people to pay attention. I don't think he did something heroic by also failing to share the news, but I still think he did more than you.
The sheer fact that you're referring to him and pointing out his failure is an acknowledgement that you were wrong. Thanks for that admission. Now all we need is the apology to go with it. |

WhatWhat DJINN TheButt wrote: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. There's a viable argument that he WASN'T contractually bound at the point where he should have been breaking the NDA though. It's something that could be argued in court with a fair expectation of success. What CCP were doing was wrong, and letting people know that it was wrong would have been the right thing to do.
Also, as many people have pointed out, there are plenty of ways to leak the news anonymously. ANYONE with that knowledge, CCP staff, CPM, whatever, could have done it, and WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT TO DO SO. |

The problem with it all has to do with respect. CCP doesn't seem to respect the community that they hold in such high regards and laud every chance they get.
They sold us items for real life monies just to turn around and slap us in the face by not saying one word about DUST on the PS3 and showing us a tech demo just like they did when they show the original DUST514 trailer and demo.
They told us they were working on the problems and were focused on development all while doing the exact opposite. They don't tell us about canceling the VITA app and misled us into believing we were playing a game that had somewhere to go.
I feel lied to and let down. If they had come here and told us on our forums what was going to happen it wouldn't have been so bad but they chose to tell us in a DUST514 keynote speech that we all though was going to be about this game but instead they told us that they were done with this game and are moving on to develop another game for another platform.
They showed blatant disrespect for us by not telling us things, selling us junk for a game that they are basically rolling in a gutter to die and rubbing it in out faces with the keynote speech. I am insulted and my love for CCP has been severely shaken to a point that I will probably never recover from. 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.

To even think that is nonsensical. Betrayed? Ha! Betrayed. Yea okay. All I had was an offhand mention of the grass turning brown and drying up. But the CPM0 knew! they KNEW!! And remained silent. Those who know about a crime and remain silent are the same scum as those who did the crime. There was no excuse to remain silent since in todays world of deletable emails, free websites and inquisitive reporters all that was needed was a simple speculative post on a free website to get news hungry reporters after CCP demanding details.
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.

How is an addition to the game that had been frequently requested, and more importantly, was announced in a timely manner with player involvement in its development process comparable to a change in platform focus that happened months before players were informed about it and involved the developers actively avoiding the topic to mislead us into believing that the change wasn't happening while promoting the sale of in-game items they were using to fund a development which many of the paying players WOULDN'T have wanted to support had they known?

Either they knew and went along with it, in which case they didn't perform their job in representing the community
Or
They tried to stop it and CCP simply ignored them, in which case they have zero influence with CCP, so there's no point in them even trying to represent the community.
Either way, why have them represent the community at all, if CCP is just going to do whatever the hell they want anyway? |

I agree but that he has been active but they are not meaningful answers. I could give those answers and I am nobody but you are correct they have been more "active".
I should have worded my sentence more clearly.
I would like to change it to this.
They continue to give vague answers that don't answer any real questions. They are providing some feedback to us but it is useless to the actual question that was asked. They need to seriously look into how they treat their fan base and paying customers because the lack of respect and forethought is amazing and I am astonished that they announced Legion like they did and I am continuously let down by their lack of meaningful answers from loyal customers and fans.

I don't expect the CPM to break an NDA, its a signed legal contract.
What do they do after this? Commercial law differs across countries, in Australia you could report something like that as false advertising or misleading conduct to the ACCC and be protected under law but I wouldn't expect a group of gamers to be able to realistically analyse a legal situation in a foreign country.
So that really leaves resigning en masse. They'd have to weigh that up against the option to stay and try and engage in damage control, which would be best?
Hard to say but IMHO, while you don't resign over trivial garbage this is such a seismic event that the balance comes down pretty heavily on warning the players. People are being misled into spending money, its not just about platform butthurt.
They should have resigned so people could have been informed and made their own choice as to whether to spend that money with full disclosure. |

I couldn't sleep, this thread is bothering me and I have yet to post anything on any forum related to this issue but I couldn't shake this. I am happy the CPM didn't break NDA. The NDA is an integral part of what makes a construction like the CPM/CSM work. That being said, I think if the whole of CPM resigned at the same time. namely after being shown legion, no NDA would be broken and the community would see the red flag. That's a bit sensationalist though, if the CPM resigned how could they help CCP do some community management, release news of this appropriately? I in no way believe CPM/CSM members had any hand in the Legion announcement being the Dust keynote.
But you know what you can do? You can resign now. As CPM. you haven't been listened to, there's no reason to believe you will be listened to and the most effective use of your position is to make a news story out of it. Its your call, but I can tell you from here, it would be the best thing for the current council members to do. |

The paramount responsibility was to warn the players, whether by resigning or by some other means. What CCP did was deceitful and unethical, and the CPM was fully aware of it.
At this point, for me at least, Both CCP and their appointed CPM have absolutely no credibility, and the idea of logging in and playing DUST is distasteful. Likewise for EVE. New Eden is beautiful, but she's working for a scumbag.

Thank you for painting a picture that is more accurate.
We went through the same thought processes and discussed options with concequences of their future impacts and we knew that quitting back then would have probably made cpm 0 the last cpm and that would not be absolutely fair to the rest of the community. Also we realized we probably overplayed the 'we are going to quit card.' A card we mostly played over 'why even have a cpm' in the past when cpm was at its weakest state which has probably caused a level of mistrust between the cpm and various members of the company. Just like in real life politics every person has thier own opininion and even if you convince the people you think are in charge, the people in the majority it only takes a very few folks to override the best laid out plans.
CPM is in that very weird position where saying 'we told you so' in a rather immature manner is so tempting but the CPM realizes we're at the critical point of being legitimized as a needed organization. We had a half day summit yesterday and you cannot belive how much progress was made for empowering the community. If those talks turn into green lights you will see the impact soon enough and we're having another full day summit today.
@Garret
While you may have held several NDAs you probably never had Top Secret clearance. It only takes a breach of confidential complaint to pernamently revoke the clearance which shows up on public records it was revoked and that the difference between having a job with a clearance and a job and job without is rather significant in terms of wage and options. FBI and NSA headed up my investigation because I was foreign born of a non american citizen so the grilling was extra tough on me when I first got it. This is nearly as bad of a record to obtain in the states as being a federal criminal. You can't scrub that mark off at all and they're eventually going to find out if they dont at first.
Losing my security clearance would disallow me from working in medical because of the HiPPA, any branch of government setcors, and most technical jobs because its part of both national and company security most of the time.
Also anyonomous options?
LOWL; you're talking about the same company that can nail an eve botter's unaffiliated alt account made under every precaution avoiding being associated with his bots at all. A simple browse through some of the botter forums is sometimes all the entertainment I need. So what really makes you think a simple human powered investigation would not reveal who the anon is? CCP's IA and Security is a rather scary team of people because I am familar with thier capabilities.
Also I have to say your talks about how you would break the NDA means that likely you can kiss every and any chance of voulenteer work, ever running for anyting with CCP ever again.
FInally we had thought and measured out the concequences instead of acting out of passionate knee jerking. Doing anything you suggested was measured to have the lowest or reversal of impact; and not helped anything move forward. There is no way you can convince me or the rest of the CPM at this point an time that NDA breaching would have ever resulting in anything good.
and bottom line; there was about 6 people who claimed to have come across evidence of legion's nature. Not a single one was listened to. Free beers amongst them.

Oh and i missed that one as well !
You can seriously bite me dude especially as you're the absolute prototype of the "being CPM strokes my epeen" kind of guy.
Yes NDA are serious ****, no i didnt break it and go public. There's a limit to what i'll risk regarding a videogame involvment. Yet, i didnt just do nothing. Not like what seems to have been happening since i left CPM. The most i was able to do, i DID. Not for ego, not for the look of it, but because that felt right.
FYI, i even checked with a lawyer if NDA was something i could just override. Turned out it wasnt.
I'm absolutely shocked that you even dare open your mouth on this or even make a comment about me.
This post is the perfect example of your state of mind and how\why you do things.
You talk hero material ? Who said that ? Not me. Not anyone. But the simple fact ppl may find someone else's action better than your seems to always make you tilt.

Also thank you for disputing Garret's claim on how useless the NDA and proving my point it was something we couldn't just break on a whim.
Also measuring likes is like measuring KDR nearly effing useless as the video game stats.

that + 10 millions.
I suppose keeping the possibility to stroke epeen some more in the future was more interesting than doing even the tiniest thing to mark solidarity with the poor actual player, poor buggers situation.
But hey, CPM0 was basically 100% PC eve players. So surprise much ?

No; Garret's point cant be hit by the person he's aiming at. It can only be hit by people who side with him. So thank you for proving how stupid this whole conversation is.

The CPM did not betray anyone.
The members had three choices:
1. Stay in the CPM and try to convince CCP to announce EVE: Legion before Fanfest. 2. Resign. 3. Break NDA and release information on EVE: Legion.
If they resign, they lose any ability they might have had to sway CCP's decision, meaning they wouldn't be able to do ****. If they break NDA, not only are they illegally breaking a contractual agreement, they are diminishing any trust CCP might have had in the CPM, which would no doubt have had longstanding consequences for everyone down the road.
Naturally, most chose the first option. Why? Because it was the best option for everyone had it worked, and there was no reason to think it wouldn't at the time. Of course, we all know now that it didn't work, but there's no way the CPM could have known their efforts would ultimately be in vain. They aren't clairvoyant, omniscient or otherwise capable of knowing that.
You cannot condemn the CPM for their decision. It's the best one they could have been expected to make.

So let me summarize:
1. The CPM failed to have any impact on CCPs decision to rip the community. CPM silently agreed to CCPs actions.
2. The CPM then decided that it was heroic of them to keep their privileges, you know, for the community!
3. The CPM was happy when community finally learned that it was mislead, lied to and ripped, because it was heavy burden for CPM to carry and it was finally lifted. CPM rejoiced.
4. Bonus round: For representing the community's best interest CPM will now probably get an extension? :)
Oh wow, in wikileaks era none of you clowns thought of blowing a whistle via proxy?
GREAT JOB AT REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY.

We don't care about the whole legion thing, we care about lies and deception that you chose to take part in. It was your choice, nobody made you do it. Your defense is as ****** as your attitude.
You did a bad job at representing the community and you should quit.

Well I am just going to ask a simple open ended question, and let me just, in advance, apologise if this causes some forum rage etc...
Do you think that maybe CCP or even the CPM should of reached out to the Dust 514 players going to Fanfest. Players like Zatara and I who don-¦t play eve and just Dust. Players like myself who don-¦t even attend the eve keynote because we don-¦t play eve. Seriously though, as a person: IWS, CPM, and CCP what am I supposed to take from FF 2014. Betrayal is coming to my mind

Do you think that maybe CCP or even the CPM should of reached out to the Dust 514 players going to Fanfest. Players like Zatara and I who don-¦t play eve and just Dust. Players like myself who don-¦t even attend the eve keynote because we don-¦t play eve. Seriously though, as a person: IWS, CPM, and CCP what am I supposed to take from FF 2014. Betrayal is coming to my mind
Maybe I am just going to re quote this, because I am still very drunk (so I could be seeing things) but was a CPM and ex one not just talking?

So when are people going to stop spreading rumors about legion, CCP, and the CPM? Saberwing and logibro said they will get more answers to us as soon as they possibly can. All this stuff I read on hear reminds me why I never posted or read these forums in the first place. Please try to act like adults here people.

Hey ReG
Do you really need my opinion on the whole FF thing ? Coz i m pretty sure you know where i stand. I have no idea how i would have react if i was the one finding this out on the spot after investing in a plane ticket and a FF pass. Well actually, i'm pretty sure i would have torched something.

Betrayal is coming to my mind And that's the big issue with how they did this big reveal.
What else were any of us supposed to get? I mean, I play EVE, and I was ******* LIVID after that Dust Keynote.
I spent maybe 40 minutes ranting on Corp chat before coming back upstairs and raging with friends on Skype.
The only reason I even watched anymore of the Dust stuff and eventually got the full picture that they should have given us at the start is because a very good friend of mine told me I should remember Incarna and how everything panned out that time.
I took her advice, chilled out, and got back to watching the stream and following the forums.
She got to say "I told you so" in the end, because she was right about this just being a massive PR ****-up. It seems yet again like several of the divisions of their studio aren't talking to each other and it ends in all of them looking like betrayers in front of thousands of people which was only compounded by how excited a lot of us were for this "thing" that we'd been hearing about them working on while doing the point-releases.
I'm pretty sure none of us expected to have an hour-long presentation turn out to be 15 minutes of first talking about everything we've wanted all this time, and then saying Dust will never get any of it because they're switching the game to PC.
Obviously we can see now that that wasn't all there was to it, but if you're a Dust-only player, and you were watching that stream or sitting in that presentation, what else would you think?

I just wish someone winked or even hinted just a slight nudge. The worst part was that all Devs and some CPM just smiled and waved until the impending doom.

No worries dude. I really feel your pain trust me. I'll keep in mind the 2013 FF where we got to hang and when we were so innocent and full of hope

So after I went to bed, this thread's dramasplosion appears to have continued unabated.
And more importantly, IWS clarified a few things he really SHOULD have been saying instead of starting that "obvious troll is obvious" thread about how other games without a 10-year plan were fine to get sequels instead of the not-promised continuation of the original, so DUST shouldn't be held to its promises just like they weren't held to promises they never made.
Even more importantly still, Caz showed up, and while raging at IWS, backed him up on the most important point (at least what I consider the most important point).
So, disregarding the majority of the epeen match between you two for now, THANK YOU for (finally) actually explaining your side of the situation CLEARLY and PROPERLY.
We now know a bit more about the situation.
Legion announced internally. CPM find out. CPM push VERY HARD for CCP to share this news with the players, but aren't listened to. At least one CPM member looks into the viability of breaking NDA without taking a hit. OPTIONS ARE DISCUSSED WITH MASS RESIGNATION AND BREAKING NDA BOTH SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED.
So, results?
Decision made: Keep arguing right up to Fanfest, but do nothing.
Caz quit, and NOBODY who stayed with CPM thought that maybe you guys could play that card and push his resignation into the limelight?
Having a prominent CPM member quit, and EITHER that person OR the rest of the CPM making a big deal of it would have drawn attention to the "something is very wrong here" side of things. Because SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG HERE, and now that we know, it's something that we really, REALLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN EARLIER.
So yes, CPM was right about what they said to CCP. But no, they didn't succeed in their jobs. From the sound of things, they tried. There are a few things I can think of which they COULD have tried and didn't, but they tried.
I'm not removing my past comments, I'm not revoking the position that I personally WOULD break NDA if it was for a good reason, and I'm going to defend the fact that there is legal argument and precedent for contracts like this one to be voided in similar cases. I'm also not going to say that I feel like my frustration at that point was unjustified, or that I was wrong to behave the way I did at the time. I lacked information which was relevant to the situation, and the people who had that information took their sweet time in sharing it. So while I can admit that I was wrong, it wasn't through any fault of my own. Based on the information I had available to me at the time, I feel like my comments in this (and other) threads were justified and relevant to the situation.
So, as much as I wish more had been done, and as much as I wish CCP and the CPM had done things differently, I am willing to accept that this may not be as clear-cut as it looked.
Now the serious things are out of the way, back to IWS and Caz raging at one another. IWS, I specifically pointed out, as you were, that Caz didn't do all he could have done for the situation. Not many of us were pointing to him as an example of what CPM should have done. They were pointing to him and saying "at least he did SOMETHING", while conceding that it didn't achieve much in the grand scheme of things.
All of you talked things over, discussed your options, and did what you thought was best. For Caz, that meant standing down. IWS, for you, it didn't. NEITHER OF YOU has the right to deny the validity of the other's decision. YOU were the ones in a position to do something, WE IN THE COMMUNITY were not. I wish Caz (and the rest of you) had come here and made a big enough deal about that resignation to raise a few flags. But at this point, that's trading backwards.
IWS, I know you don't like this situation either, but playing nice with it and trying to talk it up like it was a good thing after seeing the player's rage? That was low. And targeting Caz as if people are calling him a hero? Also pretty low. And trying to point to FREE BEERS as a reliable source? Even if he had information, no. Nobody had been taking him seriously on that news, BECAUSE WE HAD NOTHING BUT HIS WORD. One player, NOT affiliated with CCP or CPM or any reliable source we knew about. If he could cite sources, or if other known members of the community had spoken up backing his claims, then maybe. And maybe if you knew he had real information, CPM should have acted on his leak. What do you think would have happened if in the space of about an hour, EVERY person in the CPM "just happened" to post in a thread where someone else was leaking the information. I'm sure you could have found something to say, and seeing all of you show up like that would have raised a flag too, without any need to break NDA.
Caz, you resigned. You obviously don't like this situation. I wish you could have said something. Even just something to draw attention to the fact that something was wrong. CPM may have been solidly gagged, but kicked the door they locked you behind would have had us asking some questions, even if they might not have been the right ones. Now, obviously, it's too late. And yes, it's good that at least one of you TRIED to force CCP's hand on this. I'm just sorry it didn't work.
I think it's fair to say that you guys DID make an effort. Caz, IWS, all of you. I also think it's fair to say that you failed, but it's NOT fair to put the blame for that failure entirely on you. There's legitimate argument that there was probably more you could have done. There's legitimate argument that CCP should have listened and instead forced you NOT to do what SHOULD have been your jobs.
You guys are meant to be representing the community. Part of the problem was probably that CCP made it hard for you to meet that responsibility. There was probably also something you could have done but didn't see at the time. I don't know how significant either side of that... |

CPM is in that very weird position where saying 'we told you so' in a rather immature manner is so tempting but the CPM realizes we're at the critical point of being legitimized as a needed organization. We had a half day summit yesterday and you cannot belive how much progress was made for empowering the community. If those talks turn into green lights you will see the impact soon enough and we're having another full day summit today.
The fact we didnt quit as allowed us to help shape things up for legion and possibly and fallback for dust as well such as the ewn progression system was made under advisement of the CPM as the original model presented to teh cpm would have infurated everyone including the most die hard of fanboys for the game
I don't quite understand the word 'possibly' here. I think its because I don't have trust in CCP. Anything that hasn't happened yet can not be predicted. The effort IWS and CPM have put in, have they beared product? Do we have tangible evidence that the CPM has been any sort of guiding force for CCP? Please don't cite any of the reactionary movements from over this weekend as I feel 5000 people have participated in those actions, not just CPM.
You've fought for the expansion of the powers of CPM. But right now, does that matter? Dust will still need player feedback while it sits on the back burner. I would hazard to say that CPM doesn't need to exist for that. CPM could be helpful in Legion but it wouldn't be elected by the playerbase from that game.
Why then, should the CPM continue? |

It's a whole lot of fricken words that the CPM and CCP trading. In the end, what happened has happened. Words are meaningless and actions are everything.
Look at what they did, not what they say. Laurent, I applaud you for your silent protest. The rest of the CPM are silent partners in robbing the community blind for the past seven months. For shame.

@ Garret Blacknova
Thank you for your thought out rational and reply. As always you're entitled to your opinion and I wont do anything to have it held against you as people under emotion do things they regret later.
I know its been difficult the last few days but CCP needs to come forward and start fixing things on thier own.
I will be busy for a few days doing some related work so CCP should have room to step in and do things. Things I am expecting them to do for you guys.

Becuase nothing is gauranteed at this time. I dont want to say anything that basically confirms anything and its so easy to use grey words that reader base can translate to white or black if you get the drift. Legion for all I know could get red light instead of green lit. I cannot comment on the chances because I am not in those frevrent flurry of meetings. And despite Legion being out in the open the closed doors is NDAing any and every speculation so it does me or any of you any good to declare Legion's state. It is best to let CCP do that.
As for the CPM perception of power its very skewed and the only thing I will cite is that the CSM took 5 years to get where it is. The expectations of doing that in a year is massively rediculous with both Uprising 1.0 and Legion thrown on top of the current members. CPM expansion of responsibility is not a fight done alone; members of CCP have been participating as much as they could.
Ultimately the CPM should continue because Dust 514 is still running; there are players still playing and there are no plans to shut dust 514 anytime soon. An election for fresh members is certainly needed. They are still the best link between players and developers, they are still the best reality check CCP has well before the idea explodes on the community like it has, and they are still the best voices of the players when CCP needs it the most.

I couldn't sleep, this thread is bothering me and I have yet to post anything on any forum related to this issue but I couldn't shake this.
I am happy the CPM didn't break NDA. The NDA is an integral part of what makes a construction like the CPM/CSM work. That being said, I think if the whole of CPM resigned at the same time. namely after being shown legion, no NDA would be broken and the community would see the red flag. That's a bit sensationalist though, if the CPM resigned how could they help CCP do some community management, release news of this appropriately? I in no way believe CPM/CSM members had any hand in the Legion announcement being the Dust keynote.
But you know what you can do? You can resign now. As CPM. you haven't been listened to, there's no reason to believe you will be listened to and the most effective use of your position is to make a news story out of it. Its your call, but I can tell you from here, it would be the best thing for the current council members to do. Thank you for painting a picture that is more accurate. We went through the same thought processes and discussed options with concequences of their future impacts and we knew that quitting back then would have probably made cpm 0 the last cpm and that would not be absolutely fair to the rest of the community.

It only takes a breach of confidential complaint to pernamently revoke the clearance which shows up on public records it was revoked and that the difference between having a job with a clearance and a job and job without is rather significant in terms of wage and options. FBI and NSA headed up my investigation because I was foreign born of a non american citizen so the grilling was extra tough on me when I first got it. This is nearly as bad of a record to obtain in the states as being a federal criminal. You can't scrub that mark off at all and they're eventually going to find out if they dont at first. Losing my security clearance would disallow me from working in medical because of the HiPPA, any branch of government setcors, and most technical jobs because its part of both national and company security most of the time. Also anyonomous options? LOWL; you're talking about the same company that can nail an eve botter's unaffiliated alt account made under every precaution avoiding being associated with his bots at all. A simple browse through some of the botter forums is sometimes all the entertainment I need. So what really makes you think a simple human powered investigation would not reveal who the anon is? CCP's IA and Security is a rather scary team of people because I am familar with thier capabilities. Also I have to say your talks about how you would break the NDA means that likely you can kiss every and any chance of voulenteer work, ever running for anyting with CCP ever again. FInally we had thought and measured out the concequences instead of acting out of passionate knee jerking. Doing anything you suggested was measured to have the lowest or reversal of impact; and not helped anything move forward. There is no way you can convince me or the rest of the CPM at this point an time that NDA breaching would have ever resulting in anything good. and bottom line; there was about 6 people who claimed to have come across evidence of legion's nature. Not a single one was listened to. Free Beers amongst them. Confirmation Bias will be strnog with that one.

Same here. We fought them in MAG, we fought them in DUST sometimes squads met each other in Battlefield and sometimes our squads fought together. We all (UPS,Maphia,WTF) like the same games and have the same limitation (native speaking) in our clans. Whats best for them maybe would be the best for us too, quite simple.

Talk to the sig.
My previous job fixing high tech airplanes needed the top secret clearance.
There are hundreds of ways of losing that clearance. Breaking a NDA can be amongst them. Driving drunk and getting arrested is another.
NSA and FBI where brought in for my interview when I had to take it most of it involved my interaction with other countries. DHLS was not that powerful yet administratively.

I couldn't sleep, this thread is bothering me and I have yet to post anything on any forum related to this issue but I couldn't shake this.
I am happy the CPM didn't break NDA. The NDA is an integral part of what makes a construction like the CPM/CSM work. That being said, I think if the whole of CPM resigned at the same time. namely after being shown legion, no NDA would be broken and the community would see the red flag. That's a bit sensationalist though, if the CPM resigned how could they help CCP do some community management, release news of this appropriately? I in no way believe CPM/CSM members had any hand in the Legion announcement being the Dust keynote.
But you know what you can do? You can resign now. As CPM. you haven't been listened to, there's no reason to believe you will be listened to and the most effective use of your position is to make a news story out of it. Its your call, but I can tell you from here, it would be the best thing for the current council members to do. Thank you for painting a picture that is more accurate. We went through the same thought processes and discussed options with concequences of their future impacts and we knew that quitting back then would have probably made cpm 0 the last cpm and that would not be absolutely fair to the rest of the community. Also we realized we probably overplayed the 'we are going to quit card.' A card we mostly played over 'why even have a cpm' in the past when cpm was at its weakest state which has probably caused a level of mistrust between the cpm and various members of the company. Just like in real life politics every person has thier own opininion and even if you convince the people you think are in charge, the people in the majority it only takes a very few folks to override the best laid out plans. CPM is in that very weird position where saying 'we told you so' in a rather immature manner is so tempting but the CPM realizes we're at the critical point of being legitimized as a needed organization. We had a half day summit yesterday and you cannot belive how much progress was made for empowering the community. If those talks turn into green lights you will see the impact soon enough and we're having another full day summit today. The fact we didnt quit as allowed us to help shape things up for legion and possibly and fallback for dust as well such as the ewn progression system was made under advisement of the CPM as the original model presented to teh cpm would have infurated everyone including the most die hard of fanboys for the game @Garret While you may have held several NDAs you probably never had Top Secret clearance. It only takes a breach of confidential complaint to pernamently revoke the clearance which shows up on public records it was revoked and that the difference between having a job with a clearance and a job and job without is rather significant in terms of wage and options. FBI and NSA headed up my investigation because I was foreign born of a non american citizen so the grilling was extra tough on me when I first got it. This is nearly as bad of a record to obtain in the states as being a federal criminal. You can't scrub that mark off at all and they're eventually going to find out if they dont at first. Losing my security clearance would disallow me from working in medical because of the HiPPA, any branch of government setcors, and most technical jobs because its part of both national and company security most of the time. Also anyonomous options? LOWL; you're talking about the same company that can nail an eve botter's unaffiliated alt account made under every precaution avoiding being associated with his bots at all. A simple browse through some of the botter forums is sometimes all the entertainment I need. So what really makes you think a simple human powered investigation would not reveal who the anon is? CCP's IA and Security is a rather scary team of people because I am familar with thier capabilities. Also I have to say your talks about how you would break the NDA means that likely you can kiss every and any chance of voulenteer work, ever running for anyting with CCP ever again. FInally we had thought and measured out the concequences instead of acting out of passionate knee jerking. Doing anything you suggested was measured to have the lowest or reversal of impact; and not helped anything move forward. There is no way you can convince me or the rest of the CPM at this point an time that NDA breaching would have ever resulting in anything good. and bottom line; there was about 6 people who claimed to have come across evidence of legion's nature. Not a single one was listened to. Free Beers amongst them. Confirmation Bias will be strnog with that one.

Yes indeed Tech lol. I agree that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. I did work for the US defense industry and I have a friend in the NSA and another who worked out of Ft. Meade that was US Army and I've never heard of such a thing either. Plus, anyone who does work like that, usually does not function out in public places unless it's on a strictly pure consulting basis. People with those types of clearances usually work at military or government installations.

Clever guys.
Because obviously, as someone involved in the CPM for DUST 514, the only possible thing IWS could have been doing his entire life is this one videogame. So logically, that has to be the source of and reason for his top secret clearance.
Just because SOME of us live our entire lives in the joys of gaming and our beloved forums, doesn't mean that holds true for everyone in the community - even those who are supposed to be responsible while they're here. |

The effort IWS and CPM have put in, have they beared product? Do we have tangible evidence that the CPM has been any sort of guiding force for CCP? Please don't cite any of the reactionary movements from over this weekend as I feel 5000 people have participated in those actions, not just CPM.
You've fought for the expansion of the powers of CPM. But right now, does that matter? Dust will still need player feedback while it sits on the back burner. I would hazard to say that CPM doesn't need to exist for that. CPM could be helpful in Legion but it wouldn't be elected by the playerbase from that game.
Why then, should the CPM continue? Becuase nothing is gauranteed at this time. I dont want to say anything that basically confirms anything and its so easy to use grey words that reader base can translate to white or black if you get the drift. Legion for all I know could get red light instead of green lit. I cannot comment on the chances because I am not in those frevrent flurry of meetings. And despite Legion being out in the open the closed doors is NDAing any and every speculation so it does me or any of you any good to declare Legion's state. It is best to let CCP do that. As for the CPM perception of power its very skewed and the only thing I will cite is that the CSM took 5 years to get where it is. The expectations of doing that in a year is massively rediculous with both Uprising 1.0 and Legion thrown on top of the current members. CPM expansion of responsibility is not a fight done alone; members of CCP have been participating as much as they could. Ultimately the CPM should continue because Dust 514 is still running; there are players still playing and there are no plans to shut dust 514 anytime soon. An election for fresh members is certainly needed. They are still the best link between players and developers, they are still the best reality check CCP has well before the idea explodes on the community like it has, and they are still the best voices of the players when CCP needs it the most.
First, lets again be clear. No one is breaking a legal document to whistleblow on a video game. This boggles my mind.
Second, I don't need to know what's going on behind closed doors, or what information you can't infer to me to know legions quality. It's simply understanding my relationship with CCP is abusive. And they can come to me with roses saying, "no baby, this time we're going to add all those features. I know I've promised them before but it was too hard, babe. You know how it gets, I get so frustrated and then move platforms. This time will be different, I promise."
This time will not be different.

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.

Well if IWS is right about the CPM having the potential for more power in the future, the next time something like this is going to happen, they might be able to pre-empt it and actually do something. Also, for the most part, this CPM has been useful for the community and CCP. I honestly don't believe that CCP would have given up on the concept if everyone had stepped down in response to a stupid decision from the devs, OR if the NDA had been broken for totally valid reasons as I believe they would have been in this case.
I can understand those concerns, and I don't know the devs as well as some of you guys who have met them, but I wouldn't expect them to be that petty about something which I'm sure at least some of them also knew to be a terrible decision. |

The cancelation of DUST PS3 development is not only CCPs failure but also CPM0s failure. Nova Knife attests that he was so mad when he heard the knews that we all heard at fanfest.

It's easy for him to talk a big game now and pretend to side with all of us when in reality he is no better than the developers that threw us under the bus. I find the complete lack of character disgusting, no one had the guts to stand up and say enough is enough or resign to make a point.
They chose to obey rather than represent us. I am more disappointed with the CPM than CCP because I can understand at least that CCP operates as a business for profit reasons. CPM was here to help us, the players and CCP to realize the dream that was DUST514.
Breaking a NDA is not just "breaking al ittle rule of CCp, making lose his position" It's breaking a REAL LAW, with REAL punishement, thousand of $ etcetc... If CCP decide to sue the person. |

How would they know who to sue if you're an unamed source. The media doesn't reveal it sources. CCP would have never found out.
Bottom line they are not needed full resignation from all of them is need ASAP. One thing to remember the only power we have over CCP is not to purchase Aurum. One the Eve side It's unsubbing.
CPM rolled over and took the only advantage away. |

Few words, from even such and underdog as CCP is, to another games company and the media in question is basically done - without access to media events, game previews, etc. Sadly the same goes for "conventional" media also, but that's not the topic. We have a world of corporations, not "free press" and other ideals - at least not for the mass consumer. |

Lol it's a video game please NDA's get broken all the time. Easy contact a media source You would remain ab unnamed source. By stating CCP is planning to do X,Y,Z To the Dust community again how would CCP know.
CCP is not the NSA, video game leaks happen all the time. When was the last time you heard someone being sued in The video game industry over a NDA lol.
Bottom line CPM failed and they all need to resign ASAP. |
