Ok so over at The escapist they are having a competition between developers, and CCP is on it! Now i know it's been stylish lately to not vote for CCP as some sort of political statement, but with Incursion being the first great expansion in a little while, i think it's time to forgive and forget. BTW, you have to go through the entire list of options to vote for CCP.

Mojang > all.
Also, while I might put CCP over Bethesda in round one, they need to lose to Firaxis in round two. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

You want to reward CCP for a *future* expansion? Because you believe it's quality code?
While your motivation is that "well the past expansions are ****, but that's because they're working on barbie dolls and I like barbie dolls".
You're forgiving and forgetting the slip from Excellence because of your *perception* of what future code might be?
Bit of a stretch mate....

:P And I'm still addicted to Civ III. But CCP vs. Bethseda? CCP all the way.
Now as for round two... CCP will just have to understand.

CCP has my vote,
6 months ago if you asked my i would have said no, but when they fixed rockets and took the advice to break up expansions into smaller bits like incursion they redeemed themselves. Incursions have been a lot of fun and nothing like selling 5x run capital bpcs to rich 0.0 pilots.
Also
WoD != CCP Iceland. Damnit all you ****ers has no one ever picked up a vampire the masquerade book or a world of darkness book? They are separate entities within the same company. They are being developed by a team of developers who were hired specifically for that, not eve online and they get their own separate funding from book sales and conventions.
/end rant
But still CCP gets votes for improving and changing their policies in the past 6 months.
Oh yeah Incarna / walking in stations was demanded long before most of you guys joined EvE, so quit ur *****en it's coming whether you like it or not.

Here come the douche bags.
I predict a 20 page whinefest about how bad a job CCP is doing over the last 8 years or so.
Yet you still pay. If you keep paying for a product that you don't like- you're a fricken idiot.

... which is why CCP has been working on extracting all game-agnostic code from EVE and putting it into its own tidy & reusable package for 2 years now.
Also I would love to see your source on WoD not being funded from EVE revenue (are the whole Corification & Carbon efforts financed equally from EVE and WoD revenue in your opinion?).
If CCP takes out loans/sells bonds to fund WoD & DUST development, do you think they just say to their banks "hey, we have this nice cash cow but we are not going to use its revenue to pay back our debt if our new games don't live up to the expectations?"
Do you think they completely ignore their opportunities for internal financing of WoD and Dust?
edit: I don't have any issues with CCP using EVE revenue for other projects - once I have paid them, the money is theirs to spend. But I think you are flat out wrong and I don't understand how you can believe that it is possible, reasonable & rational to try and fund an entire MMO with a few book sales and convention fees.

lolwat?
Incursions = reskinned Sleepers and new character pictures. Better than Tryannis, yes, but not the greatest in awhile. That honor goes to Apocrypha ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

The first and ONLY great expansion was Apocrypha. Every expansion prior and since has been pretty crap. The only GREAT thing about Incursions was the learning SP refund. So no CCP wont get my vote even I was going to.

You think 3 is bad? New Vegas is an utter mess, a completely unfinished DLC packaged as a full game, as far as I'm concerned. As long as we're on the Escapist, might as well watch Yahtzee's review - as usual, he pretty much nails it.
I loved Fallout 3, and have heard good things about Bethesda's other works. CCP still has it hands down.
As for Mojang, yeah, lets all vote for the flavor-of-the-month beta game. I had my fun in minecraft, but all the cold-crashes, client issues, and multiplayer/server problems being ignored in favor of releasing graphical updates and beds and new block skins reflects poorly on Mojang.

Actually, i thought F:NV was better than 3. It had tons of stuff from the original two games.Still voting for CCP though.

Fallout 3 is an absolute piece of crap, like oblivion was. CCP has my vote too. Actually, every developper would have my vote against Bethesda because they butchered the fallout licence.

I could almost see myself voting for Bethesda based on Morrowind (and I remember having a lot of fun with Terminator: Future Shock)à
àbut based on their last releases. Meh. Oblivion was console:ized into oblivion and Fallout 3 wasà better, but a disappointment on the basis of trying to be a Fallout game. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

I've been reading Escapistmagazine for a few months and it's great fun.
Anyway, taken a look at the brackets and I reckon CCP should get to round 4 or 5 at least. Why some developers are on there (Bungie!!) I really don't know, still Crytek and Valve in the Southern Division should be a close battle.
There's few developers if any that has taken what todays technology has to offer and created anything close to New Eden - and having the desire to push it further in to the realm of avatars and only-CCP-knows-where-else, says a lot to their commitment at least in the medium term for Eve Online.

It's not a "who's the actually better developer" contest, but rather a "who can project their popularity better" thing. You have companies like Zynga actually sending their users ingame messages about "not forgetting to vote" or somesuch nonsense, well, DUUH, of course such companies will probably (sadly) make it far. Sadly for CCP, they're in the first round with a company that made several high-profile games, games the typical Escapist reader would have played and liked, while very few would have even heard of EVE/CCP. It was a miracle CCP made it that far last year, but I fear this year it won't even get out of the first round. _
