OMFG, you gotta be kidding.
Talk about an obvious Public Relations 'used car salesman' tactic. That PC Gamer write up is pathetic. It has so many half truths stretched so far in it even a blind man could see all the holes. Hell, I'm not even sure what game they're talking about. Instead of using shovels to spread that manure, they used a Bulldozer and Dump Truck.
The entire write up is biased and one sided. Specifically written to portray the GSF as brilliant infamous Militaristic Strategists who flawlessly executed a precise plan to accomplish the most daring and impossible feat ever imagined in the history of Eve Online.
I will say it was an entertaining read and they did manage to get a couple of the facts correct. Such as Jita being the largest busiest Trade hub in high security and GSF's sole purpose is to grief other players and break the game. The rest of the write up is nothing more than overly dramatized half truths such as:
1 - It (Jita) is far from the dangers of null sec, an incredibly safe zone guarded by a deadly NPC police force with impeccable response time.
2 - .....rich traders and industrial overlords manufacture the goods that fuel the entire game and trade them on the well-protected markets in Jita, the heart of the Empire.
3 - .....building 15,000 spaceships and loading their guns with 1 round of ammo to shoot. And doing it right in front of the police.
4 - .....the GoonswarmGÇÖs goal is no less than invading the most protected and populated hub of industry in the galaxy and crushing it.
5 - Conquering the most populated system in the galaxy thatGÇÖs also guarded by the richest players and over-protective NPC police is not a small job.
6 - They (GSF) launched that campaign last night (Friday) with hundreds of suicide runs into the system.
7 - In EVE there are 3 market hubs: Rens, Amarr, and Jita.
8 - (Early in the story) For the past three months, theyGÇÖve (CFC) been planning and building up a suicide squadron of fighters for their next campaign, called GÇ£Burn Jita". (Later in the story) The GÇ£Burn JitaGÇ¥ campaign has been in the works for roughly 4-5 months now.
9 - The weekend of April the 28th was chosen as the official launch date for the campaign because itGÇÖs the first weekend after CCP launched the first part of its Inferno expansion.
10 - And of course, it wouldnGÇÖt be a big EVE Online event without someone threatening to stab someone in real life.
These are just some of the statements presented in the story. It reminded me of how watching a movie that's based on a book is always different than the actually story within the book. Anyway, the write up in PC Gamer is a good promo for CCP despite all the biased half truths presented in it.
