so why isn't anyone upset that they are taking that money to create another game?
Cause it's totally normal.
You absolute muppet. Considering EVE is the sole income for CCP at the moment, it's not good business practise to a) make changes that are potentially volatile to the community and b) ignore bugs / much needed changes. i.e. you never risk your cash cow/bread and butter, borrow against it, sure, but never risk it.
By all means spend money in developing new titles but you don't screw up your 'golden goose' doing it. EVE doesn't have any direct competitors currently or in the imminent future so IMO it's rather foolish to gamble on massive investment in 2 new ventures.

This one just fails. We don't need another emotional outrage of a poster who mumbles nonsensical bull****.
Agreed!

Yes, its normal and ok when one game funds the next game if the sucess is big enough. But the normal case is that a company of the size of CCP will only develop ONE more game after Eve and not 2 at the same time. Its simply that CCP needs a course in economics and game developement, else we wouldnt be in this situation.
They tried to create three games out of the income of one and we are at the point where CCP do realize that the income from us is not high enough, so they need to introduce MTs.
If they would only develope ONE extra game at a time, i believe that we wouldnt have that problem. There would be even more money for Eve so that proper patches and addons that we would call "addons" again would be the case.

You realize that once you pay for services renders, It's no longer your money right? It's like tipping a waiter and then getting ticked off cause he bought a pack of smokes.
I think everyone realises that, eejit!! They can do whatever they want with they money, but that doesn't mean whatever they do makes sound financial sense. For company based on suscription income, customer retention is/should be #1. ******s like you seem to disagree though.
