$4000 is totally worth the 834 subs (counted so far) lost.

I wonder if the ratio to monocles to people leaving will balance out of one tips the scale.
Maybe Hilmar et al wants a Stalin purge of the old guard (player base) and fill it with people who love to buy Aur etc.

Given the reaction to that thread- DELETED, not locked, I'd say it was real. They wouldn't react like that to a fake troll post.

They'll have to sell a whole lot more monocles.
They've only sold 52. And right now, it's NEW. And some people buy them just to troll.
What happens when all that wears off? People stop buying monocles, and those cancelled accounts just keep chipping away at the bottom line.

With that kind of money he can afford to rent a studio so he can do a live CCP interpretation of the Downfall meme.
Or, depending on how many other people have cancelled their subscriptions, just make it a reality-show equivalent.

Obviously $4000 today is better than $12000 a month

Well lets look at it this way shall we. Some items will be cheaper than Monocoles and some will be more expensive. If we assume tat Monocoles are the average cost of an item, then we can say the following:
In 40 hours they sold 52 monocoles, that is 1.3 monocoles per hour at that sustained rate you could sell 31.2 in a day, 218.4 in a week, 11,356.8 in a year. Generating 726,380.928 in sales each and every year and 60,531.744 each month. That is the same as 4,038 suscription fees each month.
No wounder CCP doesn't care if we leave, there is no way more than 4,00 people are going to up and leave EVE. Perhaps some will but 4,000 seems beyond the reach of reason.

uhh what you fail to realize is its not the old guard that is being purged..
ITs the filthy dumb summer*** scum that is unsubbing in mass. The little kids that started playing eve when school went out are the only ones complaining.
The old guard has always known that eve was driven by greed and money.. Thats why they are still here.

This...People will leave sure...not 4000/month lol. And saying you will leave is different from actually leaving.

That sounds impressive until you realize most of those 52 monocles sold were to troll with, and because they are new. The controversy is the only thing that sold them.
Most likely, sales from here on out will plummet.

If Hilmar actually was "fearless" he would have been making statements to the community this whole time, rather than tut-tutting and setting up his underlings to take hell for his decisions.
Leadership like that drives me up the wall. Happy to take credit, afraid to take responsibility, and sacrifices pawns instead. Ugh.

Dear CCP:
I will match your overpriced monocles, and raise you minus my three accounts.
CCP your lack of honesty and failure to remember your base has dammed you.
That is all.

I don't know. Sure their new, but CCP seems demented in that they want MORE expensive items to play with. Obviously they think differently than I or you. Even if you assume that the number decreases to a rate of 1 monocole a day, thats still some impressive revenue.

I'm dumbfounded that 52 players would actually buy those worthless ugly things at such a hideous price. I can't believe they wouldn't have the sense to wait for the price to possibly come down.
Ah well, I'm still sure they'll lower it eventually. If they don't, its their loss...

With your logic, I formed this logic:
A game (Let's say Starcraft 2) sold 1 million copies on day 1. That means 1 million copy a day. They've spent 100millions dollars on it (estimated), and let's say the price was 50$, in only 2 days, they refund they're investment, in 20days they made 1 billion (because, you know, 1million copies in 1 day means 1million copies a day FOR EVER!)
Blizzard ****ing made 18 000 billion dollars now!!!

You can rest assured the only people who bought these are millionaires / RMT botters.

Lets not be rude, I think were on the same side. All I'm saying is that I highly doubt there are enough numbers of cancelled subscriptions to make any impact on their MacroT policy.
