Here is an idea - why not set up a trust run by Eve players? Every player interested puts a grand or so into the trust in exchange for units. The trust buys CCP. The trust then cans Dust and starts getting on with some real expansions for Eve.
If you have 3-4 accounts you probably spend a grand or so on Eve anyway over 2 years or so why not...
Not sure how much CCP is worth though and if there are enough Eve players who aren't unemployed :)

A trust run by Eve players for Eve players? Like that's going to happen ;)

Setting up trust in a game known for scams.

have you seen the quality of posts in this forum?
and you'd trust those people part-owning this game?
**** that.

I'm going to go with no, and my reasoning is going to be
"Because eve players as a general rule have dumber ideas than CCP"
If you require evidence of this please report to one of the following subforums:
All of them. |

Well, that is what would happen though.
It is disheartening to see a game once steeped in cerebral thought and innovative thinking become so homogenized by entitlement and malaise; that indidviduals should instill a theme park existence through a lack of desire to overcome any and all obstacles and instead demand things be made easier for them via nerfs. |

to be fair, any time anything interesting happens, 9 times out of 10, it's because of them.
they're the logical choice, regardless of what you think of them.

A good idea in principle. At least you'd develop Eve for Eve players. The major issue is that at least based on the responses to this thread, it looks like finding mature Trustees to run it might be an issue |

Oh, yeah... they've done such a crappy job for almost a decade. I just joined the party and hope the braintrust at CCP continues to do EXACTLY what they've done so far. I'm looking forward to 2022, when I can say, 'I'm a 10-year bittervet'.
To put it another way.... 'No'

I am not sure that 450 thousand of any currency would be enough to purchase CCP, even if they were willing to sell.

Why pay them? EVE online is digital property just rip the game rebrand and put the server and our new company in a country that does not give a 2craps about international copy rights aka all of Asia, the Isle of Man, Channel Islands or the Native American territory.

Do you think we could scam CCP into giving us the company by using a contract in-game? |

Duuuuuude, relax, we can make more brownies.
If I tried to make a type of coffee that made all of you happy, and you rated it, the group score for it would be about 60 out of 100. Break into 3 or 4 coffee clusters, and made coffee just for each cluster, the scores would go from 60 to 78. The difference between coffee at 60 and coffee at 78 is a difference between coffee that makes you wince or makes you happy. |

LOL putting control of this game in the hands of the players who primary gameplay style is the metagame is such a wonderful thing to do. Lets put the wolves in charge of the cattlepen. Suuuurething brah! I would give it 0 minutes before the system would be metagamed and all the incoming cash and game control being controlled by 1 or 2 ingame corps being run by 1 or 2 players. |

As I always suspected.... only 450 real players in Eve with multiple alts  |

That would net you about half a years worth of their expenses if I don't miss my guess. 100 Grand each might do it, and give you some liquid assets for future development.
Personally though, I like CCP running it and I can't imagine, (nor do I want to), the downslide EVE would take if it became a Co-Op.
