  By extension that also means CCP didn't mind and thus approved their setup. And THAT by extension means that Somer's entire thing was legal or at the very least not illegal. It's really not rocket science.  It's not rocket science, but it is a special pleading fallacy.
  Your refusal to believe something is not a relevant or useful basis for anything. Moreover, even if CCP didn't mind for whatever ill-conceived reason, it still doesn't mean that it didn't break the EULA. In fact, that's one of the main sources of displeasure with the whole thing.

 Quote:So even a business as ruthless and evil such as Somer has contributed and helped player events  Nope. They've only advertised their product, which rather precludes it from being a community contribution.

Just one example of how he is contributing to the EVE community is  this.  No, that's Telegram Sam contributing to the EVE community. Somer is still just a advertising their business.
  No-one ever claimed that he never did anything, only that he never contributed to the community GÇö advertising your business doesn't really count. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

  He is contributing by stimulating and encouraging more players to write fiction, by offering a considerably larger prize than we previously had for such contests.  He's contributing and not advertising in the same way as Tag Heuer is running a race and not advertising when they plaster their name across every F1 course and TV transmissionGǪ GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

  Does include Eve Uni, RvB and the latest Eve Fiction competition then?   Their sponsorship certainly does GÇö that's still just taking advantage of a community event to advertise their brands. The difference is that they also provide actual community contributions through their own events and community services (none of which break the EULA by being businesses).
