Held accountable for what? Being told to implement a rubbish design forced on them by shareholders? 99% of my software dev experience right there...

???Surely your not going to blame share holders for options/fix that already exist in the game???
Ostensibly, the fix isn't in the game already, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. And that's on design, not the programmer... with design almost exclusively influenced by business outcomes, not rational logic.
can you imaging if you got banned for exploiting mining ... that would be a shame
I'm looking forward to the solutions that can design out players with bad intentions. Should be good - you'll make billions by designing out griefing.
It's why one of my mantras about games & game design is "(financially) 'popular games' are not synonymous with 'good games'".
There's the occasional rarity that has both, but financial success is not indicative of a well designed game.
Well we've seemingly already got therm haven't we? Just ban them and tell them that the ToS, which makes no specific reference to what they, did covers what they did. Ironically enough, a situation in which someone genuinley wouldn't have been able to find the information with a simple google search on account of it not existing. Well unless the argument persists that the section which clearly relates to real-world fraud is actually talking about in-game fraud of virtual assets with no defined monetary value, in which case please excuse me, I'm off to Narnia with everybody else.
For my understanding: Is this forum a game for you? I am here to learn, perhaps readjust my moral imperative, but you seem to defend your point of view only to be right without reflection.
Nice idea to tell the people what they think. There is only black and white, the good, the bad, but where is the ugly? My advice: Listen to the people and give yourself a minute to meditate on your position. It would make it easier to follow your arguments
This forum is excellent PvP.
Excellent?
I'm more reminded of a SDC wing ganking a harmless Sidey.
(to clarify: in this thread
)
Done. Implement PvE mode. I'm awaiting the billions now.
A Powerplay thread with me is like taking on a Prismatic Stuffed Crust Cutter. 80 pages, little mercy.
I’m surprised you got that one past the censor-bots...
Ok, I agree the whole slavery bit sucks, and I'm glad that I'm not one of those affected, but couldn't the enslaved just work to build up enough funds to pay the re-buy on their ship then self destruct?
If they choose to do so
The alternative being to lose their current ship and respawn in a sidey at a starting system.
It's not like this hadn't been foreseen. It came up as a point during the beta
There is a choice? That's new to me.

Every rebuy screen, in any event of your ship blowing up gives you the choice, I guess we get very focused on wanting our engineered, Gankatron 2000 back we just miss it but it is always there, to take the Sidey.
Ah, that. I understood there was a choice where to respawn - aside from suicidewindering.
Ah, no. I imagine that would lead to some sort of abuse.
