I'm not happy about this, but what can you do. I've had a long running dislike for EA for a long time. I just hope this doesn't impact EVE in a negative way.

This actually puts me at ease. For the longest time I worried about EVE because it was so unique and beautiful but had no conceivable way to die. Now those fears have been put to rest.

Yeah, 'cause nothing says forethought like publicly announcing what you're going to do after your first 6 hours on the job.
Do you believe he got the job without having a good idea and mindset about what it entails and how he might be able to 'improve" things for CCP ? This is a VP you're talking about here, not a Dust merchandiser. A Bloke like this is well-briefed and got the job because of ideas he proposed in order to seal the deal on the job.
Not because he's 6 hours into the job.

But seeing that EA isn't, and really hasn't been, pushing the F2P business model on any platform whereas CCP pretty much are the pioneers with F2P on a console (correct me if I am wrong), I wouldn't put it past Mr. Decker that is one of the reasons why he joins CCP. Not pushing the F2P model? Then what it is this?
And how many of those games on that page would you say are "AAA" titles?
Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

Yeah, there's certainly one positive thing we can say about his decision making... he LEFT EA.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

How long before we can give him our welcome to EVE verbal bath and get him to dish the dirt on EA? Oh he must have stories!
Me too. But his earlier work at Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) gives him some good cred. Experience with developing precision wargames might be a good fit for EVE. |

Yes, I do. That's how hires like this always work because in order to truly develop a comprehensive strategy he would need access to trade and industry secrets and internal development information that CCP would not just hand over to someone they hadn't already decided to hire.

Yup.

Nah, not really. I mean, you would like to think so, but I went through several hires like this in my career. CEOs, Presidents, VPs, directors, etc. they come in basically blind, take a few months to learn the ropes, then pitch their ideas. If their ideas take, then they move forward. If not, they move on to another company. Why do you think guys like this are changing jobs so often?

I wouldn't bet on just only 10 more years ... in fact I am looking forwards to a couple more decades!
That said, please keep your feedback and discussions in this thread polite and reasonable. Personal attacks, insults or other forum rule violations should be avoided, thank you!

EA is a black eye on good games.
We're looking to see what Baaaaad crap comes down.
DLC... Will kill the game
Expansion purchases, can't work no way to segregate the population, which also kills the game.
Any odd idiotic move will wreck the economy.
Any "special list" or "Elitist Gold" equipment will just **** the populous off.
Special "buff potions" will **** and unbalance all pvp.
Skillpoint gaining potions/implants will wreck the market, character bazaar, and cause animosity to those who skill their chars vs those who now megabuffskill characters.

I pay more for my Cynabals and Vindicators than you for well..whatever you are flying.
I pay a few bil every once in a while for my special buff potions called boosters. I have billions invested in implants just to unbalance your "pvp".
I bought 2 characters already to gain advantage and cause animosity to those who started this game earlier than me.
I dunno maybe...troll softer? |

Who says CCP has to let us do anything. It wouldn't take much to make Jita permasafe, unable to fire weapons for example.
I am truly afraid for this game. |

There are few things as remarkable as blind unwavering hysteria.
It's like a living thing that need only feed on itself to be not only sustained, but to flourish.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |
