Originally by: CCP Atlas I've spoken to Biz Dev and this is something that might be revised, possibly to exclude ISK payments. I'll let you know as soon as I know more.
1) Maybe Biz Dev should actually play Eve. That might help.
2) How would you police this? If I use ... mining buddy on a third party website and isk is exchanged, are you now filtering my web traffic?
Originally by: CCP Atlas 3) This project is not about CCP making money. Whether we charge $100 or $50 or $10 for a commercial license won't make a big difference to our balance sheet. $99 is the lowest that we estimated that we could reasonably go and still justify the cost of the service. If this is too high for app developers, this is something that could possibly be revisited.
What does this actually mean? You have to charge something for it? Why charge at all if it isn't about making money? Why not $29? You like Apple's moves for development, how about $29, or I don't know... i already pay for FOUR ACCOUNTS MONTHLY.....
Originally by: CCP Atlas 4) Nothing is set in stone. We're willing to reconsider anything you deem unfair about the program. Donation and ad supported ventures is a tricky thing to allow without any sort of a commercial license though and that's a legal slippery slope. Whether that license needs to be $99 per year is something we might reconsider.
Then stop the train before it heads off the cliff. It's not tricky, I want to see 1 "company" besides hosting companies & RMT that might begin to make money off of the eve plays.
Originally by: CCP Atlas Please help us by continuing to give constructive feedback into how you want this service to be since our motives are really to empower 3rd party development and not to try to squeeze money out of starving programmers.
Constructive Feedback: Build a developer community, start listening to them, features they need, then maybe you can start thinking about charging for a service. As off now it's incomplete and unsupported. Just a big "go frak yourself" move by some dweeb in "Biz Dev".
Originally by: CCP Atlas Our Biz Dev department will give us some more answers and clarify ambiguity. Rest assured this will change to suit your needs and our aim is to make you want to develop software and services for EVE and not to throw obstacles in your way.
Again... stop listening to "Biz Dev"... have them start developing and putting their time into things for free before they consider changing the game.
To everyone else....
The day this crap becomes official, is the day we should pull down ALL 3rd party pages.... Eve community wouldn't like that too much at all, and CCP will be to blame.
This is stupid. Not hate by the way, just people who ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME AND GIVE THEIR FREE TIME TO MAKE YOUR PROFITS INCREASE. "Biz dev" needs to wake up.
