What 100's of billions of ISK would those be? The ones they will donate for prizes at EVE Vega perhaps? Donating means giving your own money to something. If they take other players money and give to some cause, its not donating. And if you look at how much they plan to "donate" and apply simple math and count how much they earned from this spike because of this development, you will see that profit is much larger than donation.
Dissapointed by that decision. This is just half-assed measures in order to calm the **** storm they caused by their own poor judgement.
PS. and dont compare Eve Radio to this casino thing. They are actually providing fan service and their primary goal is not making profit but to have fun. For Love. For Peace. For Honor.

They are actually providing fan service and their primary goal is not making profit but to have fun. People run events and lotteries all the time and donate the proceeds to other organizations (usually charities)... so I don't know why you think that taking outside currency and donating the proceeds is somehow unusual or unsavory. It is an EXTREMELY common practice. If your church runs a bake sale to fund their summer camp for needy children, and a bakery sponsors the event and provides a lot of the goods to be sold, you don't find that legitimate? CCP wants to start sponsoring more 3rd party sites and organizations, partially through providing unique prizes. I find that to be a good thing.
Because its not an event. They are running business. And that decision from CCP doubled that business. And there is absolutely no control mechanisms that all those profits will be forwarded to prizes. It was only announced by them to give away tiny prizes. Comparing to actual cash they received.
This is like my church making baking event, and then donates 10% of profits, and the remaining 90% are spent on new car for the altar boy.
And with charity events there usually are mechanisms and audits to check that all money is donated. In this case, there is no such thing. I just have to trust online casino to be honest, lol. For Love. For Peace. For Honor.

Good for them. Or are we now to the point that we are going to say they don't provide a popular service for EVE players, and are not worthy of sponsorship to run a special event? There is plenty of popular services that are non-profit. Why not use one of them?
And if that organization made any profit from CCP decision - its favoritism. Thats what we have problem with.
And they are makin profit. I havent seen single statement that they are giving away ALL isk they made, or that its going to be checked in any way. For Love. For Peace. For Honor.

And how do you know this exactly? Have you checked every blink, blast and bonk? Have you somehow confirmed that the game is not rigged? Because that is what you are implying, and hence endorsing their service.
For some reason i thought CCP was supposed to stay neutral at all times, with the latest TOS changes and all.

And if this new deal is born by them,... No, this could simply be not true. They are not in the loop and were not consulted. At least that is what they said in their few posts on the issue.

Lets gamble if these voiced concerns, about open favoritism, will be actually answered by CCP.
I bet 100mil it will be ignored in a manner of: "lets pretend its not there, and we did nothing wrong and hopefully it will go away". For Love. For Peace. For Honor.
