This thread is incredibly hyperbolic. CCP sometimes puts out subpar expansions. You'll realize that, and come to accept that after playing for six years. This expansion, isn't even the worst one they've ever published in my opinion (Quantum Rise had less content). Tyrannis is not nearly as bad as people describe it (it's not great, but it's not any proof of CCP going down hill either).

I agree. Although, I have no problem with capitalism. I do find it sad that CCP got big with Eve and is now abandoning us for their quest for console riches. Dust514 has doomed Eve. It's so sad to see because of how beautiful Eve used to be. The concept, the gameplay, the people. Eve used to be the Ferrari, but now it's just the beaten up old pick-up truck that CCP uses to get to its new car, Dust514.
There are so many things wrong with this post:
-CCP is not abandoning EVE. EVE is their number one money maker, and will continue to be their number one money maker for years to come. If anything, CCP has abandoned other projects for EVE's sake. Remember the World of Darkness MMO? Its development has been minimal for years when it was announced over three and a half years ago now.
-Dust 514 has not doomed EVE. Dust 514 and EVE are developed from the ground up to work independently of each other. If, in some nightmare scenario, either game were to tank, the other could still exist. Dust 514 isn't some insane gamble that could bring down their whole operation. It's simply another game from a game studio.
-"How beautiful EVE used to be?" EVE seems like the same old game to me. Some things in it have gotten better, and some have gotten worse as they always have. It's still a phenomenal product.
PCaBoo, you obviously do not get what CCP's plans for Dust 514 and EVE are. CCP wants EVE to be the ultimate sci-fi game in which you can do anything that you can do in any sci-fi film. Tyrannis, Dust, Incarna, and pretty much every other expansion are small parts in making EVE the finest game it can possibly be, and ultimately, the most innovative and original game of all time.
