What about "won't sell power" in case of pro7 who already showed they can roadkill f2p games whenever they want?

Re: ProSieben Responds to Community Concerns


Of course it's going to be the community that is going to demand all the credit for this even though SOE said they we still discussing how things would work. People need to realize that due to the nature of the partnership, it wasn't very logical to keep everyone together. I say that because while it is a partnership, they each have full control only of their own region... To still keep them connected kinda removes the point of even having a partnership.

As long as SOE and PSS1 remove all region locking than I full believe that the game will last long enough to at least return their investments as well as each company's minimum expectations of profit from the game. With region locking that becomes much more questionable.

The entire point of MMO is a critical mass of players playing together simultaneously. With an F2P game, the more players = more competition = more revenue generated. More players also = more revenue generated just by themselves without the added factor of players competing against each other. There have got to be plenty of research papers that prove that.

Er.. this made me look up the term partnership in a business sense, of the three sites I looked at from google this one seemed the most composed or best explained. All of them supported each other. Also this is of course from a US standpoint.
http://www.investorwords.com/3609/partnership.html
partnership
Definitions (2)
1. A type of unincorporated business organization in which multiple individuals, called general partners, manage the business and are equally liable for its debts; other individuals called limited partners may invest but not be directly involved in management and are liable only to the extent of their investments. Unlike a Limited Liability Company or a corporation, in a partnership each partner shares equal responsibility for the company's profits and losses, and its debts and liabilities. The partnership itself does not pay income taxes, but each partner has to report their share of business profits or losses on their individual tax return. Estimated tax payments are also necessary for each of the partners for the year in progress. Partnerships must file a return on Form 1065 showing income and deductions. Estimated tax payments are also required if they expect their income to be greater than $1,000.
2. More generally, a relationship of two or more entities conducting business for mutual benefit.
The other two links:
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedicti...ss+partnership
http://www.entrepreneur.com/encyclop...erm/82334.html

What I'm trying to say is that the nature of the partnership as you put it, it up to the partners in the contract.

This.

Is what I did after 6 months of playing PS1 in 2004. With hindsight it would have been cheaper to unsubscribe from PS

The sheer ignorance of the people who made this decision is the only defence they've got so far. Surely you shouldn't be telling us things that'll make us even angrier with them?

I think its rather obvious to even people not within those positions figuring out possible back lashes against such a huge policy shift would know this whole firestorm would be created. Splitting up whole communities that have been together since EQ, isn't something you can sweep under the rug.

Radar I really like what your doing but that statement is very interesting

I have to ask wouldn't customer consultation worked a little better than what has just happened?

If and that’s a big one that this was all planned then someone must have really needed to make a point and this has the opportunity to back fire spectacularly. I wonder how you classify self mutilation in a risk register.

Re: ProSieben Responds to Community Concerns


this news should be updated... since we got some new answers now that really count!

as in this thread: http://forums.station.sony.com/ps/po...58#88000471766

quote virrago (soe CRM): Far as I know, there are no discussions to limit access to beta based on region at this time.

that´s another issue hopefully solved.

and radarx told us this:

so for me the major issues seem to be fixed.
i just need another clarification from radarx! so, all content of the game and the shop will come from soe, that´s great. but will pro7 be able to mess with the shop, or does this count as content that only soe has control over?
i fear that pro7 puts things in the shop that are free on u.s. servers, or that they mess with the stats to encourage people to buy weapons (pay 2 win).
just tell us, that all stats, balancing and shop-placements will still be soe´s concern!
