Let's not Boycott anyone...

In other words, don't start selling "lifetime" virtual goods for real money if by "lifetime" you mean less than a year. This isn't the same as shutting down a subscription based IP, virtual or not, we actually bought stuff here, not just playtime.

I was naive, entrusting real money without a guarrantee that I'd get what I paid for. NCSoft's credibility used to be enough for me to do that, now it's not. Fame might last 15 minutes, but infamy lasts a lifetime.

Needless to say, I'll never touch any of NCSoft's goods again, but the impact of this decision is much greater than that, affecting my perception of all virtual purchases as a whole. If even financially sound games like City of Heroes aren't secure, all virtual purchases must therefore be considered suspect. Things we bought from Xbox Live, Playstation Network, iTunes, Facebook, all of these things can apparently be taken away without legal recourse. This can't possibly be considered an acceptable business practice, it's tantamount to fraud!

Nevermind the credibility issue, we, as virtual consumers, desperately need strong legislation to protect us.
