aaaa... thats interesting, because cant you now use plex to buy a graphics card or somehting?  seems a lot more relevant to RMT imo


Because CCP has a partnership with invidia. And the cards sold out in ~ 1 minute.

And it is likely that it was CCP selling the cards for its own imaginary money but what is a hundred video cards when it comes to long term promotion?

Justify what? I'm not sure what the controversy is about.

They are not doing anything unethical.

RWT is not allowed buy using PLEX to buy things in reality (RWT) is allowed. It contradicts their own guidelines.
