I wouldnt hire anybody from EA...
Mostly because of the backlash, but also because EA's policies and its general worth have shot downhill over the last few years due to overpricing, dlc spam and other such reasons.
Lets just hope hes smart enough to leave it all behind. |

I always believe in giving someone a shot so I'm not going to flame the guy right off, but coming from EA I'm on a "zero tolerance policy" for bovine excrement.
Eve's playerbase is very much unlike the typical gaming playerbase in many ways. I have a feeling we're going to delicately place a giant pile of poo on the ground and he'll stomp a foot right into it. But we'll see.
brb, creating an Amarr character. I feel the need to pray.

and here I was, really looking forward to another 10 years of EVE Online.
I guess that dream is now in jeopardy.
F2P / P4F, wash it any way you want to, that model will kill EVE.
Perhaps no more patches eh ? Just pay for the DLC and wooooosh, away you go ?
If he was just at CCP for Dust then *shrug* don't care.
But that's not what the news says, clearly he will be involved in all of the main CCP stuff including EVE.
Sorry CCP, but W..T..H.. ??

Without Madden, NCAA, and The Sims EA would sink faster the Titanic. Not to mention this guy was VP of their P4F division. Makes you wonder if CCP is considering P4F again. That lesson would be very hard to unlearn.
They've been doing it for months, They're slowly heading back towards incarna, and people cheer and guide them on without even realising, Quote in case. Paying stupid money for golden pods and limited edition stuff.
Edit: Though on a more serious note, People from outside the EVE universe don't tend to understand it's playerbase or the game. And are never usually tuned into how we think, i was hoping they would hire someone from inside the game, or inside ccp already. Taking someone who was high up in a company like EA, given it's reputation seems incredibly silly, but it's probably a way to get incarna back on track again, with the experience of EA. :tinfoil: |

The credits are missing the bit where he was VP at the :Play4Free: part of EA for a good while. Spoiler: Battlefield Heroes was one of the worst "pay to win" games ever. In case you missed it, this gives a good summary;
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/12/ea-restructures-battlefied-heroes-pricing-fans-enraged/
EA's other "excellent" (I'm being sarcastic here) Play4Free titles include Lord of Ultima (talk about abusing the hallowed name of a franchise, for a crappy browser game) and BattleForge.
I give him +1 rep for his part in some ancient SSI titles, but that's only +1. Rest he has to earn the hard way... |

Now that I've calmed down and glued the pieces of my head that 'sploded off, I read his gaming history. While I don't care about anything from EA (even if its good, its crap with that label on it) I see he had a lot of experience at SSI back in the day. So that does show some promise.
I will offer one piece advice to this man: Just as we tell people to forget everything you knew about MMOs before trying to play Eve, you need to forget everything you learned/experienced at EA before you attempt anything that will affect your playerbase.

It will not just get locked, but this thread will be removed from the forums, just like CCP did with the thread about Mintchip becoming an employee.
CCP hates threads that give bad (but deserved) press to their employees.

Yeah! They totally should have left Maxis alone. It's not like they had gone completely and totally bankrupt after a long series of awful games that were poorly-designed financial failures or anything. It was totally EA's fault. If only they had left Maxis alone! |

First Mintchip, and now an EA VP? And in only a matter of weeks? We're going to have to start raising zombies to get much worse.
Considering the type of person you would have to be to get a position as a Senior-VP at EA, my sincerest hope is that CCP is planning on doing the OPPOSITE of everything he suggests.

Definitely not a reassuring news for EVE.
Coming from EA, I can't help but wonder what sort of culture this person will bring for CCP.

Grim news, grim news indeed. This is quite possibly the first General Discussion thread that has ever induced real life emotion. I read that title and got a sinking sick feel in my stomach. If they ever start pimping out EVE online like a $2 street walker in typical EA fashion I am out. I am not the contents of my wallet.
I don't really know much about this Sead Decker personally, but I know I don't approve of the company he keeps. If you were hiring a babysitter for your child and their past references where the mafia and the Church of Satan you probably wouldn't hire them, right? |

This is the end of :freeexpansions:
Every expansion will now be branded as DLC, which...
.
.
.
... you won't be able to buy with dollars, euros, yens or dirhams, oh no. You'll have to pay for them with Aurum; and each DLC will cost less than a certain multiple of AUR. So you'll always have to buy more AUR than you actually need.
Oh, and for all those "hisec is a carebear wonderland wah wah" nullbears? Just you wait - in two years time activating weapons on a player in hisec will be impossible and wardecs will be abolished. You know, to attract more newbies/money.

So... Does this mean that EvE will turn into an over simplified arcade-mode space game? Shall Dust become a generic fps title? Will The EvE universe now be targeted to an even lower common denominator than WOW? |
