I don't think anything was found to be wrong with their game.
But the operator decided that if he couldn't RMT, he'd just shut it down. Whether that's a fit of pique, for damage control, or to hide a deeper problem is still up in the air.

Buy a bunch from our reseller get some isk free.. If what Blink is doing is RMT, then so it this.
Nope. That is "buy a bunch of PLEX codes, get *another PLEX code* free." The reseller still pays CCP for the plex code, and no ISK is involved, so it can't be RMT (trading ISK for cash)
Somer's scheme was "we'll give you an ISK bribe to steer your PLEX business to us." Which results in Somer getting cash in exchange for ISK. Which is RMT.

Hey guys,
WeGÇÖre aware that SOMER Blink has posted a message to state that their services are shutting down.
WeGÇÖre also well aware that a lot of members of the community have enjoyed playing SOMER Blink over the course of the last four years, and itGÇÖs very unfortunate and saddening to see a source of enjoyment for our players closing its doors.
In the same respect however, we believe that the promotion that caused this issue was not representative of the original proposal that was brought to CCP.
Given that weGÇÖre unable to provide reimbursements as per section 1.3 of our reimbursement policy, itGÇÖs good to see that SOMER Blink is shutting down in a controlled and stable manner, and that players will be able to withdraw their ISK and / or assets.
While we will be monitoring this closely, we have no intention of interfering with this process, as we feel that allowing players to be able to have their assets and / or ISK returned by SOMER Blink of their own free will is an important part of bringing this situation to a solid resolution.
WeGÇÖll have more information for you guys tomorrow, once myself and CCP Leeloo get back into the office and speak to the relevant people, including the CSM.
This remains a top priority for the community team, those involved in other parts of CCP, and the CSM.
Thanks for your patience while we work on bringing this to a close.

Chribba is a community service provider because he doesnt expect anything in return for what he does, Somer on the other hand expected a great many things for what he does/did.

Well I took a year break from EVE and the only reason I kept one account up was to play blink and set some skills. I am sad to see Blink go the way of the Dodo.
I did get the remainder of my isk I had deposited with them back.
I understand his reasoning for shutting down the site, the witch hunt that is this investigation and community uproar and calling for Somer's head.
I think now that GTC's have been removed and plex can only be sold at CCP's price they need to remove all third party suppliers. and just have CCP as the only source of plex. that would pretty much prevent this from happening again. |

I was kind of hoping that Somer would go full Cartman mode and sit on the trillion ISK in deposits. But that's only because good schadenfreude gets me... excited.
I'm also glad that CCP has no intention of interfering with the return (or not) of assets, since there's absolutely nothing wrong with EVE deposit banks taking their depositors money and laughing all the way to their soon-to-fail bank.
It's certainly revealing that Somer's response to not being able to cash out is to quit.

About a year late , but you guys we're absolutely on the ball with it this time around. I'm very impressed with how CCP and the CSM came together, acted swiftly, and communicated with the playerbase. It is good to see that you guys saw through the 'business proposal' and recognized that in the end, Somer's goals perhaps weren't altruistic and for the benefit of the community. In contrast, I feel Somer's response, both initially when suspending the promotion, and now, when shutting down, speaks volumes regarding his true intentions and how he views the non-Blinking Eve community. |
