My own thoughts are somewhat with the OP and with the anti-protesters who critic the OP.
I will ignore the swearing, insulting and flaming that people on the forums seem they need to indulge in to get their point across, as I have promised myself that I am no longer going that route as I have in the past a little.
The protest was a partial success and for now the protesters have managed to stave off what I think will eventually become a part of EVE.
The wording of the official statements from CCP clearly appears to mirror political speak where the politicians dance all around the definitive yes/no answers that questioners demand. Whether definitive truth has become a forgotten value in todays modern real, and game life I don't know, But I have to admit that at my late age in life it seems to be that way. Don't flame me for these statements they only mirror my own thoughts of a fair number of years.
I am unsubbed, as is my life partner, a total of our four accounts at this time although we still have until August on 2 of them to run. They were unsubbed a week before this blew up so it wasn't as a result of the protests, we were just getting a little bored and wanted to go elsewhere for a while.
We have done this before, and so no we wont be giving our stuffs away, and we shall monitor EVE from afar and hope that the game doesn't change too much.
I think though regardless of what may have been won, retained or lost, the biggest loss for us is the trust in CCP to maintain their word and to refuse to commit to that kind of truthful answer that so many of us wished, even demanded as a right in exchange for our loyalty to pay our subscriptions.
Some of you may say that our loyalty isn't that great as we have left before and returned. But when here we are paying, and our subscriptions do support EVE, and that means to us anyway when we play we have a right to expect what we pay for.
I suppose whether we return in the future will depend on what direction we see the game taking.
So good luck to you all and fly safe. Oh yes please try to be nicer to each other and stop all the flames it makes us seem very immature and childish when we do it.
