Has the decision to go with these companies derailed your hype-train?

I'm in "wait and see" mode until we get a comment from Steven. I thought this Poll might be a good gauge for them to measure community reaction.
i dont wanna search for a new mmoT.T not when i found this 1D:
But suddenly the interest has gone to the floor to avoid frustration in the future. For a company trying to make a name, asking for "trust" after this move.... Why would you trust someone with 0 past good examples of published games, that in it's first experience does this? Hoping i am wrong though
Not my comment but I think it's also important to take in this viewpoint. my.com shouldn't have any say or pull on what happens with the game or gets put in it and it seems like it'll be just that.
There's no comment he can possibly give to make this right. Intrepid simply shat all over its potential EU players with this decision, nothing more, nothing less.
"Yeah, lets give this known fraud and thief our business. Don't worry! He won't do anything illegal.... This time.... We think. We hope."
But now?
My Hype Train is derailed and has Killed every one Living in Hopetown.
Based on their track record alone my.com/mail.ru have an incredibly negative reputation for their poor translations, non-existent customer support, ban waves affecting legitimate users, delivering malware to users and being open to multiple hacks which culminated in the loss of user data.
People say 'Give them a chance' but at this point they've had multiple chances already and we're supposed to believe that this time is going to be magically different?
I honestly think having my.com involved is an extremely poor choice, it's undoubtedly going to turn people away from the game and will no doubt mean that many users will feel forced to go to NA rather than deal with them.
Unless they have had serious staff overhauls in the past year I cant imagine their coders or support staff are anything experienced for the EU side.
That being said, I understand from stevens statements today in discord that there were some complications with the other publishers regarding contractual agreements. Meaning (from what I gathered) that the other publishers wanted more control and design influence, while My.com was content with signing on only to provide housing support and infrastructure to Intrepid specific servers.
The customer support issue however I agree with cannot be ignored and if My.com is to remain a partner, should in no uncertain terms be held contractually liable with insurance (Financially) for members accounts and data. That would ease alot of concerns
I think people are overreacting pretty hard. Sure, I get that you might not like My.com but we haven't even seen anything yet. People are jumping to the worst conclusions and allowing their imaginations to run wild.
The thing is this. People say publishers dont influence developers and dont interfere.
But think about these numbers, 50% of the devs going together with my.com have said it wouldnt change their policies or non-p2w standing.. I know at least 2 teams who were convinced to go for that.
After my.com EVERY single game became p2w. My.com has a worse trackrecord than EA, no company has turned as many games into garbage as my.com. A 100% destructionspree.
So.. Am i sure about the devs intentions? Yes. Do i believe the devs statement? Yes. Do i believe the statement from my.com? No. Do i feel as secure about my investment as i did before? Fuck no
