I dont mean any disrespect to you but this may come across as aggressive so my apologies in advance for that.

but im not sure if its worth reading the report, there is only two scenarios i can foresee
1. they told you about these changes and you reported feeling positive about it showing yourself to be completely out of touch with the 2+2 community
2. this one i believe to be much more likely they did not tell you anything about this and thus were effectively just humoring you with the meeting in the first place. which pretty much just shows the whole thing is a waste of time anyway.

Yeah but we have no trust in PS anymore... it's pretty clear that they are hiding something really important that should be talked.
I'm sure you feel tricked right now, and I guess it's like anyone else is feeling right now.
Obv I'm more than positive, you went to the meeting with the best purposes... you know, when the other part do something shady like they did, you don't trust them anymore

You took a cab at 9:15, went to the meeting at 10:00, ate pizza at 12:00 etc. The important stuff you can't talk about because you signed a NDA.

No offense to you personally but we all know that Amaya don't give a **** anymore so who cares about this meeting report?

There's no better way to describe it imo. Also such a pointless action by them.

Lets hope the incompetence doesn't continue much further, for the sake of everyone, incl. Stars.

These meetings are utterly useless and I know it sucks for GGARJ as no one wants to put the effort that he's put in only to realize that he was taken for a fool by Amaya whom he went over expecting a fair shake.

The fact is people on here are also to blame for constantly voting for people (not GGARJ) that are only looking out for their own short term interests.

At this point I would never consider giving up my freedom of voice when its apparent that Amaya has no consideration for the regular players who voice their feelings on 2+2.

No reply from Steve tonight, so my hopes for getting the report out over the weekend are waining. Fingers crossed for Monday, I do apologize for the unexpected delay.

Also, thanks for the sympathy, folks. I don't feel all that "butthurt" tbh, and hold no grudges against the people I dealt with at the meetings. More on that when I finally post the report.

Think I'll crawl into a hole now and re-emerge when I have good news

+1.

Although that hole might get pretty deep if you're searching for good news.

+1 thanks GGARJ

I may disagree with you on these meetings (though I guess that we agree now =P), but it is clear that you are focussed on improving the poker world and I appreciate the effort.

Did they mention any rake changes at the meeting GGARJ? I think I will have to quit playing on poker stars if these changes go through. The increase in rake would make some games truly not viable to play

While I do understand PS Steve has work to do, I think this is a bit out of line...
The report was submitted a Friday and on the next week Sunday we have no clue about it.
Clearly, reviewing the report isn't the most important thing to do, but showing this kind of disrespect is embarassing.
Especially after recent changes, the report should be moved higher in the priority list, obv this isn't happened.
In my opinion, it's a pure shame
