"Eve is dying" implies that the players are leaving. I know that according to some there have been drops in the number of players, but there are many factors which could affect that. The first that comes to mind would be how many players have simply taken a short break from Eve to play Wildstar. I haven't played it, but I have heard it is a heavy PvP game, and I would think that the Eve playerbase would be comprised of people who are interested in PvP, and not just from one venue. In other words, they'll be back.
In regards to "eve is dying" when it comes to CCP, the best we can do at this point, in my opinion, is watch what CCP does. Observe the changes being made to Eve Online, and compare them with other actions by companies that have failed in the past (or sold their products, etc.).

Fortunately, most of them realized that, properly maintained, Eve is a source of infinite amounts of those.
Goonswarm may have had that as a founding principal (and may yet), but even if they gave up on it, it turned into "the popular thing to do". Industrialists and PvE minded players in general are the most despised players in Eve, and it would be to the glee of hundreds of thousands if CCP pushed them out of the game. In fact, I'd say that the majority want it bad enough, that they'd risk killing Eve just to see it done. |
