considering EVE and WoW are 2 long running games
i'd bet activision has all its staff currently looking into how to get in on it.

nobody cares, the owner sell the whole company, ccp will still do the game.. it's like with stocks, the company goes on doing their thing no matter who owns the stock.. the company just gets traded from one investor to another.. happens all the time

And it could lead to a whole lot of people who boycott EA leaving the game, because I'll be damned if they get a cent from me for anything ever again. EA don't make games, they make candy. It's got no nutrition to it whatsoever, it just tastes good and gives you enough energy to run around in circles for an hour before you pass out from sugar overload.

So they've been pushing with the monthly expansion schedule, and they've implemented a whole slew of new features, with the game being arguably better and more interesting than in the past. To me this indicates that the devs are really interested in the game and motivated to put effort into creating new stuff and making the game succeed.
The past couple years haven't been tricks to drum up subscriptions or create false appearances, they've been full of genuine improvements to the game. Genuine :effort:. When this happens in a company, it's usually as a result of a top management change that drives everyone to re-focus on the product and making it great. Everybody takes pride in what they've managed to achieve, and everyone is determined to continue to do great work.
So yeah, a lot of investors are starting to put up bids, because EVE is awesome; of course they are. Doesn't really indicate whether CCP will sell. If it were me, hell no I wouldn't sell.
And even if they do, when the product is good, new owners typically want to continue making a profit by improving the product and making it even better. The current team of devs has proven that they can deliver over the past few years; it's very likely that they'll be kept on the team and assigned to continue improving the game.
Taking EVE over to trash it and rip apart the company doesn't make sense to me. So I don't think we have to worry. The game will be even better. |

The potential for walking in stations is ZERO. When you start giving people a reason to stay docked then they stop undocking. When they stop undocking, they stop generating content. Sure you can generate content in stations, but this is a space game. People play it because it takes place in space.
If we wanted to play a sci fi spacey game that takes place with a walking avatar we would just play HALO or some such.

Not to say you're wrong, but when I want to sell a car... I have it tuned up first. Makes it more appealing.

Yeah EA buying EVE is a cashout event.
But far more likely is that this is some private investors, not another publisher.

With the tripling of the market valuation, it looks like ANY sale is a cash out event for those involved. They have no reason to care what happens beyond sale day. If EA has the best liquidation plan and can therefore pay the most, it's going to EA, regardless what the devs themselves think about it, and especially regardless what the players think about it.
So the real question is who are the likeliest buyers ranked from subhuman villains (EA) to reasonably benign (passive portfolio investors)?

CCP giving some detail might be a good thing. Saying nothing gives the impression that whoever it is, they don't want a part of eve, but the whole enchilada for almost a bil. they're not a charity and will want a good return on investment which means milking the players for as much as we're willing to tolerate.
was gonna have a $1k custom build PC ordered today, but read that little bit of news and didn't. thanks CCP for declining to comment. hungry children in asia and mexico building cheap parts aren't going to eat tonight. |

I would say its completely normal to expect EA taking over and killing companies to promote their own EA stuff. It happened before.
Hostile takovers happen.
I would not sell to EA for that reason, and I would not sell to party owning competing games.

So much ridiculous fearmongering in this thread. The article states that the investors who got in on the ground floor of Valkyrie for $30m and now it's worth $300m. Guessing that the stock on Eve Online is at an all time high and they are looking to get investors in to do some serious development to Eve and that would be fun to speculate about. I don't think CCP is publicly traded so it's all pink slips (Trade Hub ISK doubling)
Obviously the owners and devs of CCP know how this childish community reacts at things! Go shoot a statue!

Gauging markets and investing attitudes are a constant reality in investing, especially venture capital companies, and in the end it is about the money and its the product that makes that valuation. There are better and worse times to look to recoup investments and like most people should be doing in RL, aka looking for a better job even if they have no intention of leaving their current one so they can gauge their relative skill sets with HR departments in similar or dissimilar companies and businesses for "valuation" purposes.
You guys make me laugh all the time.
