That link is an interesting read, especially as MA continued to advise deed holders and players that MA were continuing development. Are we not to trust and believe in statements made from the CEO? It's bordering on a police investigation to be fair, not that I'm prepared to use the "F" word at this stage
Now that emotions have calmed down, it's a lot easier to assess the issues with a clear head. It doesn't really matter how well MA have wrapped this up with smoke and mirrors (quite cleverly, as usual), the message is dangerously clear:
Where MA have often got away with slow development for systems they sell to us (stables an example), to my knowledge they've not continually made statements to investors or the community to "mislead" investors with the intention of not delivering on those promises stated in Bulletin #1 or recent posts from the CEO McCormick spoke about in his post.
It leaves loads of unanswered questions for Stables owners. They will not be selling pets to Compet now, plus other promises that those investors paid for. What is left form them, after rings that came after pets destroyed sale buffs for them. Are they too supposed to be torn down by some of the community for their trust in MA?
In my opinion MA's current offer doesn't come close to resolving the compensation due, based on the misleading facts of sale and CEO statements.
So regardless what happens with this, and it certainly will not be all over once the deed swap completes. MA have got a huge problem with selling anything in future unless it's 100% completed before sale. Ark Moon deeds is a prime example, and that's before this Compet nuke hit us.
The game simply can't run on player deposits, it needs investors to survive. If that wasn't true MA wouldn't keep trying to sell us stuff. So for those attacking the investors, try and enjoy your entertainment without us. I'm approaching one month without deposit, and the ball in 100% in MA's court right now, to if that situation continues. Now multiply that up by 100+ investors. Now throw in withdraws without investor deposits.
The TT zero sum game often spouted to make some feel all cuddly and warm that the game is fine, doesn't take into account years of TT in peoples inventories that can be withdrawn. Was it £110m?, I can't be bothered to refer to the accounts, I'm just making a point that investors are critical to the future of this game.
