Has to much been made of this? Of course it has.
But it's a slow motion train wreck now, the tracks are laid and the carnage is coming whether justified or not. For a guy to brand himself as out to ruin your game via guerrilla tactics, he finds himself and the wrong end of the meta-gun.
And what does Mr. Alexander Gianturco have to show for all of it? His real name forever linked to a drunken image of himself at a video game convention, wearing a wizard hat, caught up in a cyber-bullying incident.
It's been said before that everyone has an agenda - or at least most do, and this guy has sabotaged himself with staggering efficiency.
I agree with most folks above, CCP's hands are tied. |

But what Mittani did is even being talked about on kotaku, Even with his apology this Ruined alot if not all goodwill we had with the majority of the gaming community.
This could even **** over Dust 514.
Sony is heavy anti cyber bullying if CCP does not do something about this Sony could not allow Dust 514 on Sen.
Hell this could force heavy anti cyberbullying rules in eve if sony forces it on CCP.
I just looked at the front page of Kotaku, theres a lot of stuff about how anime characters are sexy, a bit of Assassin's Creed III coverage oh and if I scroll way down in a side panel theres one poorly researched (again, twitter as a primary source) article. The resignation or non-resignation of The Mittani will likely have a negligible impact on any decision Sony makes. The continued spreading of misinformation and outright lies by short sighted morons with a grudge will do way more damage.
That's true, and there are those that would see their agenda through at the expense of the game - and thanks to your fearless leader they now have a mechanism to do so.

The sensible solution and decent one is for Alexander Gianturco to simply come out now and resign. And I still hope he does this rather than continuing to drag all our reputations through the mud while doing immense damage to CCP's visibility in the gaming (and soon to be) mainstream media.
That's just not going to happen. It requires no small amount of effort both in and out of game to achieve what he has done - and it is an achievement he is extremely proud of. He's simply not going to give it up willingly despite (or in spite of) what he tweeted. |

See... I don't have a horse in this race, but it's things like this are going to elicit an anti-goon sentiment:

How is it that people are still reading the fake jabber broadcast, skipping over the part where it was posted at 92:46 AM, not bothering to check to see if anyone has claimed it's a fake (it totally is, Jade made it) and still posting it like they're providing content idgi
I retract my statement regarding the fake Jabber post above. |

You said on twiter you were resigning, was that a troll? I highly doubt you would care one iota if not for the public outcry. You have brought shame and dishonor to CCP, CSm abd the entire Eve community. Do the right thing and step down from CSM. i totally agree with you, there's absolutly no excuse for something like that, not only that you've done something really stupid, this reflects badly on the hole EVE Universe. Step Down from CSM lol because EVE players are actively trying to please people who don't play the game. rofl
CCP already has your money, just who do you think they're after. Despite all of this 'back to the core' rhetoric, they are most certainly after new subscribers, just no longer at the expense of the current ones. |

You illustrate a good point, this is a binary situation - one side will win and one side will lose. I'm guessing the answer is pretty clear cut - they're just biding time till low tide. |

You'll find it in the mind of the delusional... If you look into their eyes closely enough, you can almost see the circus. |

The Wis wrote:OK.. I really do not know what to say. I am at a loss for words with all that is going on.
I guess I should say that this is not about someone alt in eve.
This is not about someone losing isks they worked for.
This is not about someone losing a machanaw in the game.
This is not something I started. I was really shocked to see the video monday night when I finaly had time.
This is all really about a person that is over joyed in making some one hurt as much as they can in real life not in game.
Going by his power point I have to say he thought about it long before getting drunk.
If thowing my name out there was something he planed to do or not that I can not say, and we will never know for sure.
But when reflect the way he talked about my mail. I am sure that was an option he was holding on to and tossing up becouse he was really enjoying tomenting someone.
I am sorry this is not the alt in the game that is talk but the person playing the alt.
There are allot of people out there that have real life problems, but they are warned when they join Eve. Whats said and done in the game doesn't bother me, its all part of Eve.
To me this **** got real and hurt full when I watched a video where a complete stranger urged other complete strangers to try make me kill myself.
The Wis
I'm sorry you got caught up in this fella.

Seems to me it's the Goons that went soft, just as they were supposed to be making an insertion. That's a terrible time to have your 'point man' let you down. |
