It was never 'impossible' they just never really devoted time to doing anything about it before.

One more accurately reflects the cause of the war, what over shadowed the war and wasn't a dumb marketing ploy.

Nah. 'Casinos' were a Mittani talking point, I mean- sure alliances were getting funded in small part by Lenny and Co., but half the things he said he'd pay for, he never actually paid for (which somehow hurt BFM the most).

PL had been swimming in money from years of Tech mining before this, even BR-5 didn't break the PL war chest. Sorry the title of the PL Campaign update doesn't fit your narrative.

Delve is our home again. And, yeah, DJ had a big gay babby meltdown, goatse'd the forums, and ran off in a huff to make his own corporation back when we were getting rolled out of the north in an attempt to siphon out all the TRUE BLOOD GOONS. CCP even renamed the old, inaccessible Goonfleet corporation to "Old Goonfleet," altering the corporation histories of every character, and renamed his corporation "Goonfleet" for about 6 hours or so before it got reversed. It was a very strange time.

Later DJ sold out his corporation for a vouch into Pandemic Legion. :laugh:

And then got the axe in the first inactivity purge.

Honestly, the game would/will be better off without PL loving up every single fight between tiny alliances in the game. PL disbanding will poison the well for ncdot too as all the toxic shitters that PL tolerated and ncdot didn't will all flood into the surviving alliance (looking at blue majuere, et al), and hopefully small alliances will bother to field caps again.

I'm happy to see them go and I hope they scatter to the winds.

NC. already has 'I'll just steal all the casino money' Killah Bee though

Between that gently caress wit, her royal bulk and Vince, how much toxicity does a single alliance need?

Apparently he was keeping a majority of the money paid for by Lenny and friends and lying to the alliance about the size of the payouts.

When the alliance finance nerds found out, they kicked him and he joined NC.

Boy do I have a story for you (the idiots got in anyway).

Also- for what it's worth- a lot of people in the greater (read: inactive) PL community either barely played, or joined for IRC access, so they could play other games with people that weren't completely insufferable (opinions will vary here). There was a large amount of people that played solely to hit their kill quota so they could hang out in services.

If PL can't adjust to the meta of "you actually have to be in your space to make money off of it", perhaps you can name a group that was able to adjust to this meta and thus is in a better position than PL?

I'm super skeptical that stardock can pull off any sort of the charm a star control game needs given how dry their games tend to be (and given that they have basically no rights to the property beyond the name of the game).

Also, gently caress giving Brad Wardell money in general.

Stardock is by no means a favorite developer of mine, but this actually recaptures a lot of old nostalgia (for me anyway).

Figured I'd give it a go on steam, and refund if it sucked- not refunding. Only negative I have is there's no Ur-quaan 'launch fighters' spam.
