You can find the article here:

Curious. This seems unprecedented. Telling too, that Somer, realizing how this will look, instructs his employees to be very low-key, and to deal their ships on unrelated alt characters.
Also alarming that CCP informed Somer that they intend to help with future promotions.
Does Somer earn that much for CCP in extra GTC purchases? Might people with gambling problems be purchasing GTCs with real-money to support their addiction? Is there a question of morality here, perhaps? |

Apparently CCP didn't take that statement very seriously, since the email to Somer concerning the 30 free Ishukone Watch Scorpions occurred yesterday. And their "apology" reply rings a little hollow now. |

I meant nevermind, in terms of editing my last post's content. Not in terms of the entire thread.
This is before the Gold Magnate announcement. This is worse than the Gold Magnate debacle. And this is something the CSM didn't know about. We're only learning about these 30 IW Scorps now. |

The timing was bad and the transparency was very poor indeed, but as such this is pretty straightforward. When you see a beer company plastering their banners over a concert series, do you think that beer company really just cares that much about the community? I doubt it. I doubt it very much. What is this, church? Of course CCP think that they'll get a commercial advantage by rewarding those who support the community. That is what we call enlightened self interest.
The analogy was beer company equating to Somer Blink. Not beer company equating to CCP Games.
If CCP wants more player-driven content, reward the people that organize that content, not the people who are sponsoring it for their own profit-driven ends.
If Budweiser (Somer) sponsors breast cancer research (RvB Ganks), should the government (CCP) reward cancer researchers or should they reward Budweiser?
