Seriously, you guys are really milking this cashcow for all it's worth aren't you...
So after selling out your sandbox game and catering to the mass whinage of wannabe "wow in space" players, changing all kinds of things to make eve a fluffier place, you then sell out and start with the micro-transactions, and before the rage has even started to simmer down you announce this...
Despite eve being profitable at 50k accounts... Multiplying that number by 6-7 isn't enough, you need to milk this **** from every angle.

You are charging people who work for free to make your game better you asshats
Needs quoting for clarity so even CCP gets it.

Password loophole - Place all 3rd party stuff behind a password and accidentally make the password known to everyone? If CCP say "hey this isn't a corp/private website" then just claim an unofficial coalition (since ccp hasn't coded for coalitions in game).

Calling it now - CCP have done a microsoft.
CCP have watched people developing tools for free all this time, now they'll start charging for a license. If the 3rd parties pay and carry on, good news for CCP, money for nothing. If they stop developing, CCP now knows what they need to do (especially since most projects are open source), and will release their own CCPEVEMON or CCPEFT and charge for the usage.
Well played, ***gots.

1. Considering that a lot of players need to rely on applications such as Evemon and EvEHQ in order to plan out their training skills, optimize their implants and remapping and learn which skill books they need in order to pilot a specific ship, will CCP introduce an in-game alternative should these apps become unavailable due to the licensing fees?
Don't be surprised if they die off and CCP release their own CCPEFT for a price.

This is probably a subtle push to get rid of the current 3rd party apps since CCP earns nothing from them.
1) Release API and let people code for you
2) After several open source projects are well established and widely used, start charging not only for API, but for any service and lay down incredibly restrictive rules and charges.
3) Wait for popular 3rd parties to drop development due to the ridiculous cost/effort you forced on them.
4) Take the open source, modify it a little, and then license it.
5) Charge for use, with no competition but a massive dependance.
6) proffittttttt
7) kill your game

Originally by: ccp Why charge for the license at all?
The licensing fee is there to partially cover expenses from this initiative
