Well my first post on these forums, sad that it has to be this topic.

I really do hope CCP lifts their game sometime real soon, In the year i've been playing EVE I've noticed a changing attitude towards the customer base at large.
This is totally a money grab and can not possibly benefit the community in anyway shape or form. If this is about combating RMT then they should come out and say so, or find a more productive less con traversal way of doing so.

And for the CEO to Twit that his customers (the ones that help pay his salary) are whiners shows that they are seriously out of touch with the game community, Atlas's comment that it was a pages of rage also shows a lack of understanding the community feelings.
Do these guys even play EVE ? Their attitudes are saying otherwise.

Come on CCP pull your collective heads out from your asses and see what your doing, hurting the community that has made you what you are today, but might not be tomorrow if recent events continue unchanged.

The rest: $99 / year licensing fee to be able to charge for an app? That's a great deal.

---

Apart from compared to anything else comparable.

I understand you aren't used to things at this end of the spectrum, fair enough..
In perspective, this is the same as Apple's charges for writing iphone apps, yet they have the whole appstore, a reliable hosting infrastructure and a full SDK and support to justify that charge.
To get your app on the Android Market costs less; afaik this isn't even a requirement for Android apps, just a requirement for Market.
As a directly comparable example, It's perfectly ok to have adverts and donation requests on a website hosting an addon for World of Warcraft.

If your app is totally free then there is no charge.

That, to me, is reasonable and appropriate. I'm not sure why so many people are upset by that.

---

It depends on how you classify "totally free". Totally free and hosted on a website with ads to either cover hosting costs, or because it's a free webhost and ads cannot be disabled, will mean a commercial license will be required.
Even having a donation button on the hosting website, which is allowed by Blizzard for World of Warcraft app builders (see above), means it counts as a commercial app.

I wonder DJ will ER have to cough up also?

Personally, I doubt it, as we're essentially a fansite providing an out of game entertainment service that doesn't use anything of CCP's beyond what would be normally considered fair use..
Considering the wording in this devlog is so very woolly and non specific though it's hard to say.

EDIT - anyway, this is all just my personal opinion and shouldn't be taken as a viewpoint of the entirety of eve-radio.. I actually didn't intend to post under my DJ character for that reason but.. well, oops. I didn't realise it'd keep reverting back.
