CCP does NOT need some **** from EA to make a better gaming company. EA has proven itself to be a cancerous mass in the gaming industry and regardless of Sean Decker's resume or what CCP thinks he can bring to the table should not be allowed in to CCP's company period, let alone as high of a position as "Senior Vice President".
I do not trust EA. I do not believe what they say they stand for. And i will not put faith in an ex-EA employee so that he can risk ******* up what CCP has worked and struggled on all these years, which has resulted in a truly unique and stand along gaming experience.

Sacrificing everything that makes EvE unique and turning it into another pump'n'dump game in order to do so is not. CCP doesn't have much of a choice. If they don't compete, and the MMO players decline (due to consoles), they have to do something. What EvE may become is more mainstream (and honestly I hope so, because it's the only way to bring in the real human numbers). A game has 2 choices mainstream or sandbox, but if your customer base is dwindling because of consoles -- and the game can't adapt to consoles -- what choice do they have?
Don't make it sounds like there isn't any choice but to throw Eve online into the meat-grinder that is generic MMO's in order for it to survive. Eve has a great system in place, keeping the people who want casual gaming out with an iron hard difficulty curve and giving people who want a challenging sandbox environment a place to learn and create new experiences. it is this unique atmosphere that has kept people in eve and will continue to do so.
even though casual activities are a part of the game, is it really something you want to put emphasis on to try to attract more casual players? can you imagine CCP trying to get more people to play eve advertising "COME PLAY WITH INTERNET SPACESHIPS, WHERE YOU CAN MINE SAFELY FOR HOURS ON END!".
Making eve more casual and "mainstream" as you hipsters call it isn't going to save Eve. it will destroy it from the foundation up! Iirc Eve's subscription rates have been more popular now than ever. And even though its had rough spots (Incarna :P) CCP's formula for Eve has never been better. Don't **** it up by trying to sell us, the consumers, that this is what is required to keep eve alive and will become the future. That's what Microsoft did with the xbox one, and look where that's gotten them.
I Dont want someone coming in and telling CCP that downloadable content and more fees is the future of gaming and that's the way it should be. Eve online is CCP's child and let them raise it how they see fit. Its worked so far and from what im seeing it will work down the road.

This is a what if scenario, implying that pc gaming will die and all the vets will leave eve and no one will be left to play it. PC gaming Imo is not dying and never will. and even with vets leaving, there is new blood coming into eve each day.

I wont answer this question, as each eve player has a different life and different way of playing, paying and living irl.
Ace Uoweme wrote:These are the challenges for any game now. Do you have those "gotcha" ideas and answers that all these game companies are searching for?
Because pleas don't answer them, they need those answers.
I don't have easy answers for game company's. if they were easy they would already have them. but i don't want EA holding CCP's hand giving them there answers. i want CCP to find there own solutions becasue thats whats gotten them this far.

And any serious gamer hates EA with a passion. EA stands for all the bad things in the gaming community. It was bad PR move for EVE to hire someone from EA and put them in leadership position. It is a stain on CCP's reputation in the eyes of their loyal fans.
Sorry, there's just no way someone from EA top management could be clean. Don't shoot yourself in the foot CCP.
