[Platinum Pirate]

In light of how they handled this without any true measure of class whatsoever, I won't buy Infinity. To buy that or any of their mobile games is to betray Pirates itself. I was open to buying Infinity when I believed that POTCO would still be around. But now that their true colors have shown themselves for what it is, I won't buy in to their new way of virtual entertainment.

As for those who love everything Club Penguin, expect them to roll out a toy box set for that and shut down that game for good, too. They're not interested with online games period. Much easier to deal with you directly as a customer with their device you own. We never owned anything with their online games. Heck, it's true for all online games. You simply have the right to play online with others, most of whom, are complete strangers to you personally. Up to you as their customer whether you care to spend throw your money away or not for their service. So why play an online game you can't own?

Even if you do it so you can continue to play with your online friends, how soon will you become distraught with it anyway? Haven't you been paying attention to what's going on with the gaming industry? They're losing money. Players are fed up with their business practices. All those old timers will tell you how the game is no longer the same. Company is there to milk you for all your worth. Don't expect them to fix bugs, to truly punish hackers, to consider your ideas to improve it, or to appreciate your own efforts to keep it interesting for other players.

Like any new game, it's fun... at first. Then you learn the ugly truth. Well, no need to find out the hard way. We're already being warned from those gaming communities and publications. For example, WoW didn't just lose a few hundred subscribers recently, they lost over a million and counting. Who really left? The old timers. Each new content is a plain rip off.

When it comes to buying new games for your PC or game console, they're not that good either. If the annoying security measures doesn't get on your nerves, the lack of overall quality content will. Take Bioshock for instance. It is one good game. Freaky world but well done. Its sequel though is a disappointment. Same is true for the Command & Conquer universe. They were great when Westwood was in charge. Then their new ones were a rip off after they sold it to EA. Tropico met the same fate. I admired the developers for what they accomplished as they told it in their documentaries. They did much to shed light on how the gaming industry rolls and debunked their logic. In the end though, they sold out. Such a shame. I don't see them admirable anymore.

When it comes to POTCO, perhaps, if our community was far more vibrant, things would have turned out differently. So I would like to think. I won't have to the day they make Club Penguin into a Toy Box and shut that baby down for good.

Buyer Beware.
