Why does this surprise anyone ?
This company was created by folk who were basically UO griefers, continues to support the whole play-dirty-to-win methodology, up to and including pretty severe metagaming by large alliances, where apparently most of the devs are - most of the new content in fact revolves around that world.
And this kind of thing wasn't going to happen, and often ? Get real.
While termination in t20's case is certainly more than justified, I think we should deliver unto him a worse punishment.
Break him to nooblet and make him start over... and WATCH him to make sure he doesn't cheat.
Because a Dev really needs to have the experiences of...
Having your cans endlessly flipped and being unable to do anything about it.
Being repeatedly suicide ganked for fun in highsec.
Being repeatedly wardecced for kicks by folks looking for easy kills.
Suffering the low profit margins and utter defenselessness of the Miner/Industrial careers at the low end of the SP food chain.
Being unable to make any profit whatsoever on transshipping trade goods.
Spending days on end trying to find somewhere, anywhere that isn't gatecamped to cross low-sec or enter 0.0, complete with repeated instapoddings while lagged from the jump.
Being laughed off by every corporation able to survive a wardec for not having years worth of SP.
Grinding for ages with an agent only to lose it in an eyeblink due to mission griefing.
Being wardecced back into the NPC corp and left to only your own resources and abilities in order to advance.
And then having to listen to the folks who wardecced you there screaming to have missions and NPC corps nerfed to cripple you even worse, or force you into their guns in "safe" highsec.
And absolutely, most especially, let him get a full hefty bite of the crap sandwich and uphill slope this game feeds to new players, especially non-pirates - and then a cold hard look at those mighty alliances lording it over him when he has zero chance of ever competing with, or even joining them.
And then let him reflect on how much of that is his own fault.
A better punishment you could not ask for, and who knows, the Devs might even see how broken their game is when you are NOT in a massive 0.0 alliance blobfest.

/bow.
Take a good look at that post, Hellmar, and you'll begin to realize how little your development staff truly shares our "frustrations, joys, successes and failures."
Do you all even know the EVE you are developing anymore?
My god, QFT.
