It sets a bad precedent and does nothing for MA's credibility or the vision of EU as a place of opportunity for all. |
And, just a threat on one of the many fan based forums.
Am I correct in thinking that there has been no official statement yet about this "clarification" either on the
EU website or something like the email newsletter they used to send out?
So, none of these "clarifications" are yet official.
Other than the old chestnut in the EULA "We can lock you whenever we want without reason and take all your stuff away"
