What is this i dont even?!?!?!?!?!?!
I provide hosting for killboards, TS etc and all this and i don't make a lot of ingame isk out of it at the moment. I have to pay for our server each month which is not cheap. 99$ fee on top of this would force me to shutdown and not provide these services to give people the option not to spend real money instead to use ingame currency.
I could understand for something like an app where the developers charged real life money to use their program or service, but this is just ridiculous.

The Old Republic anyone? Looking rather good at the moment compared to the current trend of CPP decisions.
P.S.
Yes I am MAD!

Hello all.
At the risk of sounding corporate-y, I have to say Iæm impressed and greatful for the amount of passion shown in this thread.
There are a lot of very valid points raised here. What's interesting is that most, if not all, of the issues that are being raised are because of confusing wording, terminology or misunderstandings in the draft document.
It is in no way the purpose of the program to deter or make money off 3rd party development. The core purpose is simply to have control our IP and brand and have a contract in place so we can have some form of regulation on apps and services that use the EVE name and EVE resources (API).
Itæs obvious we have to review and iterate on the contract and program as presented in the devblog since most of the points mentioned in the comments are not in line with its core purpose.
Unfortunately that will take some time and weære kind of swamped for the next couple of weeks.
So what weæll do is take a step back, harvest feedback from this thread, do an iteration pass on the contract and terms and give you an updated version before the end of summer. Until we have a license that meets our needs and your expectations we will not make any changes to our terms or enforcement thereof.
As always, your feedback is not only welcomed but in fact essential to us. Thank you.

And sanity wins again (for now). Only took 32 pages of us saying this was a bad idea. Zulu thanks for listening. You may wanna run this sort of stuff past the CSM in the future before int ends up in a devblog
