Well, I for one will NOT be forgiving to a program that cheats me out of what I worked so hard to establish with them over so many years.
That player base did not come from nowhere, it came from hard work, my hard work over 8 years, and I do mean to get paid for it.
I will be very vocal in the entire affiliate and player community about this issue, and as most older programs know, generally I am very easy to work with, but I have a big mouth when I feel injustice has been done.
A little birdie tells me that several major programs are thinking of implementing this at this time, and I just want to be sure you all know the reaction you will get.
And I will not let it blow over. Time will not grow grass on that issue.
The time will come when you need US affiliates – and I will work with anyone and everyone who has treated us affiliates in a civil manner, and definitely not with anyone who has stolen from us.
Grand Prive will not be able to recruit US affiliates at any time as long as my fingers can type, nor will anyone else who steals from us.
You can install any new T&Cs you like, but you do have to honor the contracts you made with us. I will hold you to it, in a court of law if necessary.
