Not only do they have to pay server bandwidth/maintenance costs, developer costs, technical support costs, ingame support costs out of a measly subscription they also have to develop feature packed expansions to sate the gluttonous hordes.

Not only that but your monthly subscription also apparently buys you the right to dictate the future direction of CCP, make staff changes and have access to high level discussions.

---

That measly subscription has been netting them greater than $5 million dollars a year profit for a while.

Your attempted point here is weak.

Thats the joke, they have been profitable on a sub basis. There is no need to put MT into the game that was already generating healty profit.

I dont care about MT, NEX, monocles etc. the lack of new content and the fact that our money goes to fund other ccp projects should be enough for anyone to quit.

Maybe maybe not. I imagine several game companies do have enough faith in their product that they keep trying to make it better instead of losing focus (and money) on other things.

But if they abandon eve why shouldn't we? It needs work and they refuse to assign the devs to fix it. It could be improved allot. And no I do not count incarna-transactions. That really has nothign to od with flying in spaceships.

That is the real problem with eve. Seleene ran on that campaign of iterations and he got a vote from me. So far I see no indication that CCP is going to assign any more devs to inspace eve.

this is a normal if somewhat risky approach, as your new game may be a success or it may bomb,
common sense strategy dictates that you put 50 percent of your chips on red, then should things not work you can continue, if game 2 does well then you have all the more chips to play with next time.

CCP have 50 percent of their chips on game 2 and the other 50 percent staked on game 3

this leaves nothing left for eve and should either of the new games turn out to be a lemon this still leaves nothing for EVE

lets face it folks eve will stay as it is for the forseeable future.

maybe its the icelandic way.

I always put 50% on red adn 50% on black. That way I always win!!!
