Oh, don't be silly. You can have any hardware or software, you just cannot use it to multicast to multiple clients.
One key press sends one command to one client. Adhere to that rule, and you're fine.

The grace time will allow people who invested heavily into the program some reprieve to make their investments back, and the general playerbase will not have to deal with singular people wiping out their fleets or multi-billion ships anymore, which was always terrible gameplay.
I believe this is a very positive change to New Eden, and the short-term loss of subscriber revenue will be more than made up for in the long run by players enjoying the game more as a result of it
Thumbs up and keep up the good work CCP As a person who has never used ISboxer but realize that CCP needs fluff subscribers to pad the wallet. I am thinking Eve loses 5 to 8% of its logins and I would assume that is a draw of atleast 300k per month in revenue. I am just some nerd who trades stocks for a living and well.. A company that makes a change that loses them revenue on purpose...boggles my mind. About the change.. CCP your stones are bigger than mine. I could never do it just for the sheer cost.
The odd thing is it may have little effect on their revenue, in fact, it may increase it.
Many ISboxer users use PLEX for their accounts. Now CCP does not make money when a PLEX is used. They make money when a PLEX is boiught for real money. So, how will this change effect PLEX sales?
Right now the PLEX is dropping. That means, per dollar, you get less ISK via PLEX. ISK is getting more expensive. Although this will reduce the demand for ISK, it may not reduce CCP's revenue. To see how:
If the PLEX was hugely expansive, very few would be sold as buyers could get all the ISK they wanted for little money. They would instead save their money for other recreational activities. If the PLEX got you very little ISK, again sales would be small as few would see it as a viable way to get ISK. In between, there is a price for PLEX that gets CCP the greatest revenue.
This is common economic theory. Too high a price, no one buys as its too expensive, too cheap, you get many sales, but little revenue on each. In between is an optimum.
Where is the optimum for PLEX? Well, we do not have the needed data. But, Jita volume for PLEX peaked around a price of 500 million. So its possible that lowering the price toward 500 million, by whatever means, will increase CCP's revenue.

1) Eve will not die. Those players who left due to the scourge of multicasters will come back.
2) Its not just the PvP players complaining. Its also the miners and PvE players.
Ice miners do not like seeing the spawns vacuumed up in minutes by multicaster fleets.
Ore miners do not like seeing belts vacuumed up in minutes by multicaster fleets.
All miners do not like dieing to one player using multicasting to control 15 gank cats.
Incursion runners do not like seeing sites done by one player multicasting a fleet.
When the game becomes "Use multicasting, or you are irrelevant", its time for a change.

I read the above two posts in one way:
"If we know CCP's detection methods, then we can program around them."
