Dust is likely the place where the MT virus will emerge, and would not doubt to see it in WoD, since it would be completly new and its economy not as developed.
Hopefully CCP has not forgoten lessons of the past, although some aspects of the CE are troubling. |

Seriously- are we going to repeat the debacle of a Cash shop in Eve down the road? Eve gamer's are the elite of the MMO world. Is this going to be a repeat of 2011? Seriously...

I think it's telling of my subconscious expectations that as I read this line from the article: "In that role, Decker ran numerous studios around the world that released games played by tens of millions of registered users.", my mind automatically read, "In that role, Decker ran numerous studios into the ground..."
Seriously, I had to go back over it twice to be sure that wasn't what it said! |

Hm. Although I was like "eww, I don't want any EA in my CCP!" at first, looking at the games that guy actually worked on I kinda think he isn't that bad.
Not bad at all.
SC4, BF2, Mirror's Edge, C&C RA3, Tiberian Twilight and Renegade, and the first MoH (and one of my favourits, Imperialism by SSI, good times!). I'd say thats actually a good resume, he wasn't involved in any of those too-much-DLCs, bad gameplay, money-milking games EA is so hated for.
By now he should know that this community will watch him very closely. Lets see what he does with it. :) |

There is only one way to use an ex EA manager. Ask his opinion on every decision, listen carefully, then do the exact opposite.
I came back to this game from SWTOR. I really liked the Star Wars IP. I bought the game, I paid a subscription. I gave it almost a year. even converted to F2P. I finally and reluctantly left because I was tired of dealing with a company that the most arrogant, indifferent, and just plain stupid management I have ever seen.
I sincerely hope I don't have to find yet another game, but if EVE repeats the same mistakes that EA was famous for I will.
PS no you cannot have my stuff, I will blow it all up.

You can take the person out of the country, you can't take the country out of the person.
I'm looking forward to seeing what mistakes this guy makes when trying to take over the wheel. Crash into the barrier? Overheat the engine? Burn out the tyres? Or maybe he'll manage, somehow, to leave the culture of EA behind him and keep this car in the race.
The best thing I can say about EA is that they weren't responsible for Star Wars Galaxies.

The suits @ EA ruined my game experience in what used to be many a good game, not to mention the nickel and diming 
Eve rule no.1: The players will make a better version of the game, then CCP initially plans.

No I seriously hope World of Darkness maintains EVEs type of gameplay and keeps away from Microtransaction as far away as possible.
CCP can prove that the pay model of MMOs can still happen other than internet spaceships. And I hope this new hire isn't another step into Free to play territory. |

YAY! EVE IS NOW DEAD!!!
First, you must register at EA website by creating a new EA account. Then, you must register your game. Then, you must enter the DLC unlock code to add your DLC to your list of available game content. Then, you must manually download and install each of them. Then, you must relaunch Eve:Online. Then, you must login with your newly activated EA account. Then, you must reenter your DLC unlock code. Then...you can use clone jump.
We may also at times "forget" that you ever bought it in the first place and continuely use the excuse that you must be using the wrong email/password combination or the wrong account, so why even ****ing bother.

We're all ****ed! |

I don't want to assume anything about this guy or what he will do at CCP, etc. But I just thought this was hilarious:
Thorn Galen wrote:Yes this has been posted as a link, these are just some of the highlights which caught my attention. ---From the link. "I see the world as a micro-transaction," he tells the Huffington Post in a phone interview. "If I get on an airplane, I could pay for economy. But I can decide that I want a pillow, drinks or a better seat, and I'll pay for it. The whole world is set up like that." "It's kind of true!" Decker insists, reflecting on his 'free to breathe' utopia. "It's like a TV package - you can get the basic package or extra stations, or pay per view, or maybe on your mobile. There are so many micro-transactions out there."
I avoid the airlines as much as possible because it is not an enjoyable experience.
I also have not had TV for years because it is also a terrible experience. A monthly fee for channels and channels of garbage. And the fee is usually linked to internet and phone service. And if you just want one of those services you still pay almost as much as the full package of 3 services. Then there are all the add-on fees. On top of all this, despite paying an outrageous amount for a service, I still have to adhere to their schedule, I can't watch what I want to watch, when I want to watch it. I am also interrupted constantly by advertisements. Cable TV is the worst example I can think of for a arguing for a "service"-based micro transaction sales method.
I've already blacklisted EA along with cable TV. Maybe one day it will be computer games as a whole. Anyway. Lets hope all game companies don't become as terrible as the cable companies. |

Reading through a few of the comments here. A few good points. Firstly he was probably brought on for DUST and EVR development as they need the most work. EVE itself I doubt will see much from him. Also, EA excels in marketing, and CCP has always struggled hard with that. Perhaps this guy could do some good.
And no, EVE is not dead. EVE is forever.  |

If only EvE didn't charge anything for the time ew play, require us to pay for X amount of time before we can unlock part of the content (training time requirment to use whatever) or create collectible only available if you decided to pay to go to a fan fest. Why is EA so evil for selling stuff as DLC when subscription based MMO just disable all content if you stop paying? Even without buying any of the DLC for BF3, I can still play the game as much as I wish. Stop paying for your game time in EvE and we'll see how much of you "always included content" you actaully keep available.
Get a grip on reality and realise that in the end, games are made for $$$ no matter what the devs/publishers can spin it into. |

Thorn Galen wrote:Yes this has been posted as a link, these are just some of the highlights which caught my attention. ---From the link. So it's probably no surprise to learn that one of the main minds behind the free to play games industry - Sean Decker, EA's VP of Play4Free, sees things a little bit differently too. "I see the world as a micro-transaction," he tells the Huffington Post in a phone interview. "If I get on an airplane, I could pay for economy. But I can decide that I want a pillow, drinks or a better seat, and I'll pay for it. The whole world is set up like that." The world as micro-transaction. Makes sense for the man running Battlefield Heroes, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances and Need For Speed World, ostensibly free games where micro-transactions are driving growth and new revenue. "It's kind of true!" Decker insists, reflecting on his 'free to breathe' utopia. "It's like a TV package - you can get the basic package or extra stations, or pay per view, or maybe on your mobile. There are so many micro-transactions out there." ....more stuff was said
....and more
then this:Beta testing is key, he added. Typically new Play4Free titles are in closed beta for anything up to eight months. "You can start off small and see if this concept gels with people. Because it's free you'll get a large audience to come and try it out and... you'll see." ________ Go on and read the comments. To me, none of this inspires any form of confidence. It's not about jumping the gun, it's not about being a drama queen, it's not about "wait and see". It's about what has already come to pass in the industry, it's about the arrogant treatment of their (EA) playerbase. o7 Long live EAvE !! 
There's also that little, negligible detail where we are already paying a full sub, we paid for the pillow, the self-warming seat, the champagne and the glasses with ice nearby.
Who played SWTOR can easily testify how in that game you also pay for everything with class AAA title sub (undeserved imo) and then you ALSO have to pay further money to just get more than the free air.
Basically there's a epocal paradygm shift: from "I pay a sub and get what I paid for" to: "I pay a sub and get terrible looking gear, basic mount and so on, if I want to not suck I must pay MORE to the sharks".
That's EA 101 for you. In a game (EvE) where everyone is already being well milked because most of us pay for 3-4 subs not just one.

I posted this in another thread but this appears to be the appropriate threadnaught... Between this new employee and mintchip I think CCP should be more concerned with what their current employees are up to. Whoever is making these choices needs to put the bong and bottle of vodka down for a moment before they kill eve.
