Originally by: Lutz Major You should be charged for the countless hours that 3rd party developers used to write documentations about your precious API!
I don't think you can put a price on what developers like Chribba have done for the game.
Yes you can, it's about $35 per manhour spent on designing, bringing up and maintaining the services. I guess the total is hanging at 2-4 years...

Originally by: Lex Starwalker Bottom Line:
EVE Online is an IP, and CCP is 100% within their rights to do this. It's good business sense. It's not right for others to make money off someone's IP without the owner of the IP being compensated. That's why we have copyright laws to begin with. This is the real world. No free rides.
And by enforcing this CCP removes tens, even hundreds of developers and possibly thousands of players because the 3rd party apps are what keep EvE's community alive and kicking. Without 3PP we'd have an excel simulator with shiny graphics.

Originally by: Tiger's Spirit We want to know. What about CSM ? They supported this idea or not ?
CSM never saw this draft, you'd know if you read the thread.

Edited by: Adrie Atticus on 18/06/2011 13:19:29 Only way the $99 fee will work is if CCP 1) provides full documentation for the API alongside a guaranteed availability whenever TQ is online OR 2) provides a 24/7 hosting to all the 3rd party projects no matter how much they pull in traffic or require space on the cluster.
In any other case, charging for the usage of their IP is preposterous and uncalled for in the current form.
