Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny And to think of how they could have had help digging themselves out of the hole they dug by just coming forward about it
Exactly. By hiding it and lying to the players, they burned their bridge to solvency while standing on it.

Originally by: Goauld Baal In other words some one at CCP left the check book open and out on the table and now they want there player base to make up what there lacking HAHAHAH yeah thats not going to happen
no kidding.
Is EVE really Too Big to Fail? Maybe Iceland will do a Stimulus package to save their thriving MMORPG industry?
If countries can Bailout the Airlines and Auto Industry, why not Virtual worlds too. I mean, interweb spaceships are just as vital to national prosperity as say Jeans or Coke?
So...Iceland? You know, the bankrupt country? This is who you are expecting to bail out CCP?

Originally by: Obviously Confidential Seems the CSM is already making progress with CCP and communication is flowing - this is the right thing to happen.
These things we have identified, vented and protested about, will not get solved in 1-2 days.
This didn't come from the CSM, it came from finding the public financial records that CCP is required to file as an Icelandic corporation.

Originally by: kari bourza I still didn't see a single proof that a company absolutely need to grow to survive, i know a lot of companies that didn't
grow an inch since 1970 but instead focused on what they already have or do, and tried to make it better, and they're still around,
and they don't owe money to banks, because simply they don't try to play with heavy weights when they cant afford it and keep their
ambitions in check, either way they didn't ask our opinion and if they ****ed up , they shouldn't afterward expect us to bail them
out, and believe me i don't want to see EVE dying, but like the old saying goes : you make your own bed, and you lie in it
Yes, plenty of companies - Joe's Drycleaning, Fred G. Sanford and Son Salvage....

companies must grow, period. if you don't, your equity holders will sell. they sell, company folds.
you can't sit without growth unless you are owned by a single person who will keep their money in. anyone with economically rationale investors must grow
but CCP is privately owned, isn't it?
Privately owned, but mostly held by VCs. (hint: The VCs don't just let you do whatever you want with their company.)

Originally by: Velvet Dream hurf blurf PLEX is exactly the same as AUR
Yeah, try starting another worthless General thread for that, like the other 433987 identical ones that are shot down every couple of minutes. The topic here is "CCP's Financial Situation". Do you have some insight into their burn rate, or whether PLEX are deferred income in the financial documents?
