DISCLAIMER: I am not a representative of CCP or anything other than the gathering of nomadic explorers. Remember, CCP has tended to go through with ideas whether or not the mass of the community approved of them. I am not here to try and ruin your game with ad spam, as I pay for it too.
Everyday you open your new flashy launcher and log in to your account. You probably rarely ever look anywhere else than the download bar. You may have also glanced down at that little area on the bottom left that usually contains information about deals or sales. What if it had an Ad in it? It wouldn't be anything too extreme. Maybe just a ad for that new windows tablet that just came out. You are a bit angered that the ad is there but you've noticed the quality of the server has improved.
Would you protest? In love with CCP Sunset, and maybe-áCCP t0rfifrans :3 |

Only open the launcher when I get incompatible protocol and go through the update, otherwise it's always from the exefile.exe
So don't care either way.
However if I'm 'forced' to use the launcher and that launcher had adverts..would not be impressed.

Anyone played Battlefield 2142?
EA decided to put in billboards for ads (Coca-Cola added a futuristic ad into it even). They placed the "warning" in the box so players wouldn't know of that annoyance.
What was one of the most popular mods for that game?
Replacing the ads with a generic EA logo instead.
Battlefield has been ad free since then (though they went with the DLC model instead). "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

why are people so hostile today?
adds on the launcher are a bad idea, no one would pay attention to them... but CCP adds that used to be on the log in, are now on the char select screen where they have near zero visibility. |

If they would use the money for the right thing, why not, if's just on the launcher? But considering the "greed is good" thing, this will never happen, so better not . Speaking of, i never tought that was even a leak, back then. Was just a offense, willingly let to slip out to ppl. |

I wouldn't like it, but being honest, I'm not sure it'd be a dealbreaker for me. It'd only be there for as long as it took me to log in, and it'd be easy enough to ignore.
Having said that, I don't think it'd do the Eve brand any good. We already pay to access the game. We'd then effectively be paying CCP to show us ads as well. While TV and Radio might get away with this, there's different expectations from a game company. The risk for CCP would be that they lose a lot of goodwill from the players, particularly if the players didn't see a benefit in return. That goodwill is quite a valuable asset already in regards to promoting the game. I don't think Eve has the necessary subscription numbers that would make the launcher a viable advertising platform for third parties. If that's the case, I don't think it would be worth trading customer goodwill for something that probably wouldn't generate much income. |

No thanks, one of the main reasons I love Eve is because CCP aren't EA or Actiblizz. They don't let greed ruin their games like most other developers want to. Oh god. |

Pass the weed. I bet they did the new launcher specially for ads. That's why they did insist to keep a broken thing up.

As long as it's EvE related with promotions and money off codes on store purchases. They could start up an EvE Rewards Club. Earn x-amount of points when you purchase something from the store, save them up enough to buy exclusive in game/rl items from the store. win/win. |

Lol how is this greed? I mean I wouldn't like it to be sure, but if it meant more content I couldn't care less. As long as the GAME stays sacred, I don't care what marketing does. This Space Intentionally Left Blank |

Isn't ad space sold at like fractions of cents per impression? Wouldn't that equate to like 20 bucks a day if everyone logs in twice, or something along those lines?
It just doesn't really compare to the revenue from regular subscriptions (not to mention PLEX sales). I think just recruiting 50 more subs would be more revenue than a conventional banner ad. Do YOU like to undock? |

By all means, i agree. but if CCP needed to make higher revenue for some weird reason, would you rather have them charge you? In love with CCP Sunset, and maybe-áCCP t0rfifrans :3 |

I stated in my title and my post that the money would be used to improve your gaming experience. Not for "greed's" sake. Or would you rather have them continue resort to gimmicks like the EVE collectors edition, and the extremely overpriced clothing line. In love with CCP Sunset, and maybe-áCCP t0rfifrans :3 |

I appreciate the joke. Do you have anything to add to the discussion? or are you just hear to humor people.
