CCP employees aren't calling the shots anymore. Investors are and that's the reason why EVE turned into massive crap pile.
Also, that little tiny guy with the vision of the best scifi experience should be fired. We already had that, in form of Rev II.

The second those Nvida guys, and Hilmar were up on stage showing off some crappy hand held version of what they could do with EVE, ya that is were the warning sings should have went off. What 2 months later, CCP says they are putting on the pads so they can launch a console game with sony. LAWL.
But not much anyone can do. Enjoy what is left of the game. At worst, we can all play emo vampires, and cut our own virtual wrists...lol

Those evil investors. . .
Well if someone buys up a good chunk of a company, they get to start acting like they own a chunk of a company, thats what happens.
However, is that even the case? Generally, even in the cases of private companies there are press releases when a group of investors sink a bunch of money into a company.
CCP has been talking about Incarna for at least 5 years. The game direction isnt a new thing, it's the timeframe and execution has sucked ass.

Also remember that the top ccp dogs are all very wealthy so even if all three projects go the way of the dodo then they are still all very wealthy.
I imagine this has much to do with ccp's current direction. Why worry about taking risks with the company if there is no personal risk?

Alright. Alright.
I'll fix it. Now. EVERYBODY! Send me 100 bucks. With some 300k subscriptions that should yield enough cash to buy out the evil investors and give the power back to the players.
Deal?
P.S. I'll set up a paypal account for this once I get enough positive response. For now, just send me PLEXes. --------

The whole reason, the only reason, that people are mad at CCP is because they took a larger risk than continuing to develop EvE and EvE only.
It is excellent to see that you paid money to complain about it, and even better that you used someone else's money (self admitted) to do so.

No this is false people are "mad" due to 2 primary reasons.
1 No new "space ship" content has been added in almost 2 years and looks like none is on the way in the foreseeable future.
2 Some people resent various aspects of NEX.
Many other companies continue to add popular content to their first game while developing a new game. CCP chose a different route and people are upset.

It is foolish to let investors dictate the direction of a company. They know how to spot good shares to buy and companies to finance. They aren't qualified or experienced in managing those companies. Greetings and salutations all who reside here. May your flames be warm and your trolls tasty. |

No, thank the person who used his personal money to buy a plex that I bought with isk.
I quit personally funding eve over a year ago.
And before you say zomg you still paid for eve no i didn't. Players who buy plex to get isk are independent of players who use rl money to buy a subscription.
The plex would have been bought regardless if I wanted to resub with isk or not. So ccp lost out on $14.95 because I used an isk bought plex instead of using my own rl money. Queue irrational rage about how I still paid rl money to ccp. Originally by: Ghoest

Anyone in iceland is most likely suffering heavily due to the financial crush.
But the top ccp corporate officers?
If you really think they are not making loads of money then just lol.
This is the same for any business.
Sure the company and especially the employees might not be making loads of cash but the top of the corp always makes a tidy profit.

Isn't it time you went back to not playing again.
The person that bought the PLEX got what he wanted out of it when you purchased it with ISK. YOU are the one that burned up CCP's liability to provide game time when you purchased and used it.
No moral high ground for you I'm afraid.

What is this I don't even? Are you drinking and posting again?
Plex are bought independently of someone paying rl money to keep a sub. Did the plex buyer get what he wanted? Of course. But it was a single transaction when normally there would be two transactions. Instead of paying rl money for a resub I paid fake money for a plex. CCP only got paid once instead of twice. Argue it as you will but I only expect another round of circular arguments.

I'll go slowly for you.
Someone paid CCP for a PLEX.
That PLEX represents an obligation from CCP to provide 30 days of game time.
That someone's intent was to resell that obligation to someone else in return for ISK.
You bought it and he got what he wanted, namely ISK.
You got what you wanted, namely that obligation to provide game time from CCP.
You have directly supported CCP's efforts by removing that obligation to provide game time and completing the transaction cycle.
You like to portray yourself as not providing income to CCP because you pay for PLEX with ISK, when in fact you are essential to their income system working.
Yes, there is a world beyond the end of your nose.

Plex sales are independent of subscsription income.
Just because someone buys a plex with rl money doesn't mean its ever applied to an account.
Do some plex eventually get used to fund a subscription?
Of course.
Does every single plex purchase go towards a subscription?
Nope. Ever notice there are hundreds and hundreds of plex on the market?
This is because people buy plex in the hopes of converting it to isk.
Not every plex that is bought with rl money and put on the market is converted to isk hence the hundreds and hundreds on the market.
So when I buy a plex with isk I'm not paying ccp any rl money.
Its called speculation.

Of course, nobody ever said that all PLEX were used for subscription time. But in your case, that is exactly what it was used for. And with it's purchase and use by you, their potential obligation is fulfilled.

Actually, this wouls only be true once plex go into demand. At the moment there is a plentiful supply of them.
For example, If your paying with a sub, you are giving CCP $15 a month. There is still an excess of plex on the market.
You cancel sub, CCP get 15$ less from you, still excess of plex on market. the plex you buy off the market is already paid for, regardless of who buys it. But if someone that was once an active subscriber buys it, to me that's an overall loss to CCP.
as I said, provided Plex dont get to the stage where they are selling as fast as they are put up.

And yet I personally did not support eve. Someone else did. All I did was use some fake money to buy an item that ccp was already paid for. CCP got paid regardless if I used it to resub or not. But by using it to resub ccp was denied my personal money.

Not really mate.
If you, and people like you, did not create demand by spending ISK for them other people would stop purchasing them with cash (to CCP) to resell. Without you, CCP makes less money.

Just for clarification purposes, we are referring to one PLEX that was used to pay for Tokyo's subscription. We are not talking about sold but unused PLEX cards.
I can't believe people genuinely don't comprehend that. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

So are we, that plex was already paid for.
So long as there is more plex on the market than what is needed, CCP aren't making any money.
People buy plex to sell for isk, people looking for game time via plex do not control this. There is no demand for plex atm.
Get it yet? Tokyo's been trying to tell you for about 10 posts. ______

And if people did not create demand by spending ISK for those PLEX, people would stop purchasing them with cash to resell. They shell out the cash because the demand is there, not the other way around.
A surplus of PLEX on the market does not change the fact that CCP got paid. Nor does it prove there is not demand for those PLEX. If there was no demand, people wouldn't be speculating with their cash.
