******* melvins, man.
One guy says something off the cuff and suddenly everything has to change. Party over, everyone go home. You people are why we can't have nice things. Sure, you'll blame the Mittani. You'll rant and rave about how his comments were 'vile' and 'evil,' and then what will you do? Punish everyone else.
You whiny, authoritarian moral demagogues just can't stand it, can you? You want it clean and polished, detached from any emblance of humanity. You know what another word for clean is? Sterile.
CCP camped the gate at the airport with a tour bus, cases of beer, and bottles of jack. That is amazing, unexpected, and fun.
CCP has always had a unique relationship with its players. They've always been the kind of company that you could (literally) sit down and share a drink with, shooting the **** about almost anything while playing a drinking game. CCP has an image; they're gamers, they're fun, they're UNIQUE. They're NOT the suits other game developers and publishers are. They're like you and me. They talk to us, and sometimes they even listen.
Now, because one guy said one thing you want to throw out one of the truly unique elements of CCP's relationship with their fans. God forbid CCP reveal themselves to be human beings for even a split second. That would undermine the faceless corporate facde the thin skinned, politically correct masses want to see.

They should just do what bars do all over the planet--if someone is obviously too far off their ****, then refuse further alcohol, and if they act up about it, eject them from the premises.
It becomes their responsibility when they are providing the alcohol. You can't meet people at the airport with handles of JD and cases of beer and then get shocked when people are drunk later. "A man with a drone-boat has nothing but time on his hands." |
