I think the upset need to realize that being upset about this is silly.

I'm here to make my voice heard, and to tell the devs that I am glad they are engaging with the community more actively in new and interesting ways. This is the kind of stuff I want to keep seeing in patches; E.v.E. isn't just about pew pew spaceships and fights, after all. It's about community, fun, and that sweet sweet isk.  CCP, put me down for a big 'ol thumbs up on the subject of "Blink 1.0". http://i.imgur.com/MmQAqIE.png
In this case, i'm with you, the response i've seen so far is beyond childish.
It's not like with microtransactions where CCP's bone head move threatened to change some very fundamental things about the game, this give away to somer that results in some rare ships being given out isn't even in the same league. The knee-jerk reactions i've seen are, to be honest, pitiful.
CCP of course will end up folding because of the outcry, but this time I honestly wish they would stick to their guns on it. The pixels belong to ccp and they can give them to whoever they want. If people don't like it, unsub...quietly.

Yes, because it's CCP's pixels. It's not like the governemnt is handing your tax money to Al-queda or something.
Pixels.

I'm not taking either side, but I am suggesting that your headline is misleading. It's not about liking or disliking SOMER Blink - it's about CCP's gratuitous bonusing of a for-profit concern. The controversy here is not that people like or don't like SOMER Blink - it's that they don't know what SOMER Blink did to deserve billions of free CCP isk. Why, instead, does not CCP give those billions to one of us, for instance?
The highlighted part is why I think some of the criticism is silly. Some people are actually saying "why them and not me?". Not being the jealous type, I don't particularly care since it's a CCP thing rather than some covert iran-contra style stuff like the T20 affair.
I know people feel like their complaints are valid. I disagree, I think some people are letter their inner-nerd go out for a stroll and should reign it back in.
It's good that players feel a kind of "ownership" of the game, so long as they understand that they don't actually own anything. CCP can and should do as they please, those who don't like it should unsub (as I plan to do if CCP keeps trying to mainstream EVE for much longer, but that's another thread altogether).

sounds like you're gettin' mad at pixels on the internet
No, not the pixels, it's the people behind the pixels exploding in space rage that I am space-raging at! I am at this moment angrily spinning my State Raven around in it's hanger in protest of this sillyness. In my mind at least, because I'm sans state raven at the moment.

Or I can keep a video game in it's proper context. Last I looked, CCP wasn't handing my alliance anything. I'll go QQ about that later today. It is most certainly CCPs game and they can do whatever they wish. However, as I am interested in a fair and balanced game I believe it to be a terrible idea. If CCP wish to maintain a fair and balanced game, they cannot do things like this.
I totally disagree, I think things like this are cool, partnering with in game groups to do things. They've done similar things with others.
You know me, you know I'm interested in CCP being fair to it's customers, but those customers must be rational in return. This outcry (which is nothing more than people trying to influence CCPs actions, in the same way that WE laugh about all the time on this forum) is beyond silly.

Yea, I'm just pushing 40/ Maybe by the time I hit 50 I'll find a way to be needlessly oversensative to a video game company giving someone imaginary spaceships and money like the rest of you. Damn my youth and inexperience.
