Not heard the finances one, but anyone who tried to ban a player would be seen as doing that I guess. Since SV has so few customers, they can't afford to lose any of them.
SV could answer this for us right now. Tell us how many people are online at primetime EU. If they lie, and when/if the company asks for more funding/folds, they would be criminally liable. I have a feeling they will not answer 
Hey if you enjoy the game, be my guest. Just don't lie to potential customers and inflate player numbers etc for purely selfish reasons. |
I am for unbanning hackers if they provide SV insights to the hacks. Otherwise it will be difficult to totally stop hacking. It is a game and the assets in game are not real. We accept more corruption in the real world, so why not accept the virtual one can also be corrupted.
As for the primetime EU players, since I never play on EU prime time (unless 07-09 UTC is regarded prime time) I don't know if the statement of 300 players at primetime is right. Considering the players I met and the scattering of players, I think it is possible that it has some truth that there were 300 players in game the time when I played.
