  1. There's another working link here >

    @GeorgeSkywalker, apologies for posting-up what is effectively the same link, only when I clicked on your one I had an error message saying that the page couldn't be reached. Must have been an Opera issue.:dunno:

    Looks OK....and they won the lawsuit...terrible.

    However, on the other platform people complain from extremely long withdrawal delay. Is it the first real sign of something going really wrong or just isolated cases ?

    Well apart from the long delays they have had management changes, Chairperson of the Board changed recently from
    David Simmonds to Björn Dierks.

    They are also firing up to 25 staff:

    So not looking too good but we lack real info as usual. Their interim statement looks good though so I'm unsure why they are laying off large number off staff and why the changes in management.

    The long withdrawal times are neither new nor unusual, they are an integral part of the system and not a sign of impending doom. Controversy about this keeps flaring up, nonetheless. Sometimes I participate in it.
     
  5. I like their idea for wanting to develop natural language interaction in the game.

    So there's no longer an actual entity that represents the Planet Calypso, but instead that's handled by MindArk, the "Platform Provider". Just in case anyone was wondering whether there was any favoritism from MindArk the Platform Provider towards MindArk the Planet Calypso owner, because they literally are the exact same company. If I were a Planet Partner, I'd be mighty ticked off. Then again, the blatant abuse of the platform by Calypso has been evident for many years.

    This happened years ago and the chatter sounded quite the same back then...

    If it happened years ago, why'd they mention it in this years Financial Report, though? And it even sounds more like this is something recent due to the use of the word "now".

    I don't know how to dig it up quickly, can't think of search words to distinguish this from other news. I also don't remember the exact year, only that it was some time ago. But the above sounded like quite a deja-vu. If I can find it again I'll get back here, or maybe someone else knows when Calypso's administration came back under MindArk proper.
