I can think of worse companies to be bought by.
MS's track record, in general, is pretty solid. They didn't get to be monopolistic asshats by being stupid, you know.

It's a shame that they STILL don't have plans to release 'The Swatcats' series on dvd, well last time I heard they didn't. I agree it was an excellent series... We need to start a campaign to get that returned to TV :)

I'll still never forgive them for buying bungie and scrapping halao as a pc game and just releasing it for consoles, I remember seeing a movie on bungie making Halo before MS grabbed them and all the stuff they were going to do.
However as someone said could be worse EA anyone?

Meh - if MS bought it - I wouldn't be as worried about it as someone like SOE taking it.
SOE would ruin it 100%. SWG anyone? (They MAY actually save Vanguard - yet to be seen - but they are more capable than the programmers Sigil had... which is really sad for Sigil to say lol...)
I play on a mac - so you know how much I would like to se MS keep their hands off of CCP - but with what they are doing with XBOX live and their developer kits - (C# and the game studio) they seem to be more open than other game companies to what the people develop. IF - and this is 100% speculation at this point - IF MS bought CCP - they would likely keep the game as is and keep the development as it - they would likely want to buy it for the technology that has been developed by CCP...
It's no Secret they have been wanting to get into the MMO market - but with the fallout of VG and Age of Conan being the only mmo coming out that will be windblows and xbox360 - they might be considering more directions... makes sense to me.
BUT - if SOE or EA were to purchase...

i pray this isn't EVER so. after purchasing both vista 64 and 32 bit discs and realizing they will only let me activate one copy unless i buy another cd key i say no. no. no.
stay away from this game MS. and CCP, please NEVER become a large company or part of one. the bureaucracy and disconnect from the customer that results inevitably is unbearable and will surely mark the end of days for eve.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler Anything is possible I guess, but I haven't heard anything like this, and it doesn't feel like something our leadership would plan for CCP's future.
I hope not.
Am I right in believing that CCP is totally privatly owned so theres no way they could force a sale of CCP?
I really hope this dosent happen, to see such a dedicated team of enthusiasts and people who love a game stripped to the bare minimum for profitabilty and forced to meet impossible targets would be a shame. EVE isn't designed to just look like a cold, dark and harsh world, it's designed to be a cold, dark and harsh world. - Wrangler |

connect the dots... oh wait there is a world in between them.
since when does mileage between offices make a difference in the business world??? You are a very uneducated poster.
While I do not believe this buyout story about M$ buying CCP is true, you surely dont understand the way business works. Japanese companies have been bought by American Companies, and vice versa, why would it be any different with a Seattle based company buying out an Icelandic company? You're a tard, and should really should refrain from making yourself look like a jackass. |

This is another very good reason for devs to actually play their own game. If the people that have to decide these things play and love EVE, they will NEVER sell out

The day CCP sells to EA, MS, SOE or any other crappy money bugger-game destroyer mega corporation is the day I'll click cancel. I don't think CCP needs to be sold to anyone, it seems to be doing fine by their own.

Please for the love of chocolate let this be a baseless rumor. After seeing the downfall of so many MMO's by ubergreedy companies like Micro$oft, I couldn't bring myself to play Eve after they took over.
I'd switch over to Linux completely if software dev's would make more Linux based stuff. Win emulators are the devil too, so skip them.
