Yeah, 'cause nothing says forethought like publicly announcing what you're going to do after your first 6 hours on the job.

Oh boy finally, I can pay for more skill points!

Now you can unlock more WiS content for only 5$.

Does anyone know what this guy is going to be actually doing?

EVE is actually one of the few games where the playerbase actively punishes the developer/publisher so that changes are made.
Look how fast incarna was turned around, the sub count dropped so hard and so fast that CCP actually got scared.
I wouldnt worry too much, anything happens thats not acceptable, CCP will feel it Im sure.

Which in the end maybe the medicine EvE needs.

When the very players in the game are threatening the devs they're into destroying the game itself because they can't get their way, maybe it's for the good of the game itself.

People get angry with Blizzard in their games. They'll rant causing a scene (oh, I had some fiery posts). But you're not hearing them threaten Blizzard with burning down the game. They'll inform them that the game will suffer and folks will leave, but not of staging riots and more.

The mob here is willing to poop on their own lawn and set it afire. That's how crazy they are. ALL games have players that have put time and dime into the games they love to play. They get angry at some changes. They will post in 50,000+ post threads, telling the publisher their concerns. But they love the game and don't **** on it.

That's not how to win and influence anyone. It's how the publisher and devs go into siege mode.

You want changes or improvements help, don't go threatening the game itself. It looks bad. It shows the game attracts the worst in gaming. That makes everything look bad, and don't think the industry doesn't read these forums, either.

Be a solution, not the problem.
