From Eurobet popup when I logged in.

"You may have noticed that a few changes have occurred to our poker product over the weekend. These are a result of our poker supplier, PartyGaming, unilaterally implementing certain technical and operational changes."

this leads me to believe that the skins didnt know???

Try looking up the definition of unilateral...

BottlesOf · #5 10-10-2005, 01:10 PM

[ QUOTE ]
1. Of, on, relating to, involving, or affecting only one side: “a unilateral advantage in defense” (New Republic).
2. Performed or undertaken by only one side: unilateral disarmament.
3. Obligating only one of two or more parties, nations, or persons, as a contract or an agreement.
4. Emphasizing or recognizing only one side of a subject.
5. Having only one side.
6. Tracing the lineage of one parent only: a unilateral genealogy.
7. Botany. Having leaves, flowers, or other parts on one side only.

Done. Now you try working on your reading comprehension.

And none of those definitions could cause you to infer that the skins didn't know? Maybe YOUR reading comprehension needs some work.

Of course it COULD mean that. But to conclude that it DOES mean that or LIKELY means that is terrible reading comprehension. Period.

Unilateral means one-sided. A one-sided decision doesn't mean the skins weren't aware of it, it just means their input didn't go into the coutcome. The tone sounds much more like they tried to fight it, but couldn't prevent it.

In the context unilateral was used here, it means that Party did all of the changes themselves, not that they didn't tell anyone.

however, the statement kind of implies that they didn't know.

It does not imply that at all; the use of the word 'unilateral' simply implies that Eurobet is pissed off about it.

exactly.
