Default Party - backhanded deceptive geniuses

Party is going to make so much money if this move which they have probably been planning for 2 years now. All that advertising Empire and Eurobet did... all their players are gonna go back to Party, first to chase the fish, then it will simply snowball. 15% leave right away, others notice 10x as many players on party and follow, until no games are running on Empire / Eurobet.

This is the worst day of my life. Goodbye rakeback.

Someone please point out the silver lining so I don't have to end my life right now. [/end drama]

it will be interesting to see if party will now allow accounts for people who only had euro or empire accounts. also I wonder if the live players on the skins will know to go get a party account or figure something weird just happened.

I don't see why its so bad, just go to party and give up a couple % in rakeback.

On a side note, I doubt that they were planning this for 2 years now since they pulled it on a Saturday.

Well, they did away with the 4-table limit. There's deal making at the final table. Also, there still is rakeback.

I don't see the change as anything but a positive thing.

they are a publicly traded company that anounced and enacted a major change after the markets closed, with a reasonable time before markets reopened for things to calm down. Pretty much the only time to make the changes they made are friday night or saturday.
