So I was on massively and they had a link to the now infamous newsletter, which I thought I had already read on evenews24.
But it said something about "missing pages". This peaked my interest so I downloaded it to compare to the first one. There are actually 20 pages in total in the original. It's pretty much the same thing, it appears the pages themselves were not edited, but pages were removed which dropped the context of the remaining pages. So while I'm still upset at those individuals my anger towards CCP as a whole has diminished.
The most notable line is:
DISCLAIMER: The views put forward in this magazine do not reflect general CCP company policies or decisions and are strictly individual opinions, written by CCPers or about CCPers who feel strongly about these issues. This is confidential internal information. Please respect that every company has its trade secrets and that you are privy to those at CCP.
Though it still upsets me that certain individuals at CCP think as outlined in the PDF, I do feel a little better with that simple paragraph. It definitely opens the door for them to fix it, where before I didn't see a chance in hell of that happening.
Compare them for yourself:
EVENews24.com Version
Original Version
The tldr difference is basically this is just asking people within CCP their opinions on the matter and doesn't actually represent any actual plans. I still want confirmation in writing and signed by the CEO himself before I believe anything that CCP says, but I'm a bit less ragequit-y now.
While this doesn't restore my trust/faith in CCP, it damages what little I had to start with in evenews24. Ok, well, I never actually trusted evenews24 at all, but now I definitely won't ever trust them :P
And this is why we all think EVENEWS24 is a peice of ****. They are sensationalist "journalists" who, knowing the owner of the site, did this for the exact reason we see in this thread, and is probably "german giggling" to himself reading everyone one of these threads. The owner of the site should be ashamed of himself.
While i am not condoning the actions and responses by CCP, and am still quite mad about the way they are handling this, the POS site (and not player owned station) should be truly ashamed and his actions as well.
Iwould say the german giggling fool needs to be held just as guilty as CCP at the moment
