They contradicted the position they had adopted just a few days earlier and threatened the possible competition with a muddled statement that further clarifications just made worse. There was no change to the EULA, just a threat that adds confusion and would be hard to enforce in any fair or consistent manner.
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.
And 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 the old chestnut in the EULA "We can lock you whenever we want without reason and take all your stuff away"

Correct. there has been no change to anything, yet, and
Ma has said all the need to say. All the yammering by a small, but noisy MINORITY
(dbelinfante, please note, we get back to your comment from yesterday) will not change a thing.

A bit off topic, but "investors" are looking for a long-term relationship that will increase their capital. What you describe are "speculators", who are looking for quick, short-term gains .
MA is looking for Investors, and must show them that the long-term will pay off.
Back to the basic point. There has been no change in policy. You all are barking at shadows.
