We live in interesting times; in fact CCP is the kind of company that if things get hairy they instinctively stall for time. That, they certainly have done this week. First of we have the fallout over Incarna, an amazing example of company resource allocation gone wrong. A vision from years ago that has been re-purposed to serve as a prototype for CCP's other MMO project. It rolls out a midst massive controversy, in some cases larger than what has been seen before, this is the pinnacle of community insults. For all the hurf blurf and :promises: we should all stand proud, years from now this is what people will remember.
But CCP have done more, not only have they redefined their level of customer disconnect with Incarna but they have also defined what it really means to fail at communication, both internally a la resource allocation and externally a la CSM.
Naturally, they have caught the attention of the world. Only a few months ago they averted catastrophe over Monoclegate and now they have done it again by committing to their core purpose as a company by managing expectations.
Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback_ on what we are doing. Having the perspective of having played this game for six years, I can tell you that this is one of the moments where we look at what CCP do and less of what they say. Common sense takes time to set in and the predictable reaction is always to resist change.
All that said, I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished as a community, knocking sense into Icelandic alpha males is hard and we are doing it as so many times before! Stay the course, we have done this many times before. |

I was thinking more along the lines of this. |

It's not even "We'll fix stuff we broke."
It's "We promise we'll tell you something about fixing stuff we broke. But not right now." |

I disagree; the EVE community is in a position of strength.
I say this because if CCP fails to convince the community, then we know where the unsub button is. Mittens called it a blunt instrument, and that it is, but that blunt instrument wields the ultimate authority here. |

Perhaps those monocle sales can help pay for them?
