This originated from a reply to the 'future of Eve' thread, but I really think this post deserves its own thread.

"EVE could be the biggest game in the world at the end of 2012." - CCP's Chief Marketing Officer

"Goonswarm are some of the best players in the game." - CCPs Chief Marketing Officer

CCP's Chief Marketing Officer, the man behind the tagline: "We're not in Azeroth anymore."

CCP's Chief Marketing Officer, the man who used to work as the marketing director for the Xbox 360.

CCP's Chief Marketing Officer, the man who thinks its a good idea to start "aiming for a broader audience."
- This worked extremely well for games such SWG, World of Warcraft & Ultima Online.

A few more:

This is what CCP think of their new Marketing overlord: "David is a great evangelist.”
CCP may be fond of this new marketing cool guy, but I'm not convinced.

The same guy that got playboy to run an article.

Same guy that got an entire hour slated on PSN blog about dust 514

For some reason manages to get WoD which has like... nothing developed for public consumption to outshine dust 514 (annoys me to no end)

managed to sell rift rather nicely, if he can do that with a peice of @#$^% imagine what he could do with a real gold nugget?

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

Unlikely

That's just a matter of opinion, which I don't happen to share.

Broader audience can be good just depends how it's done.

Here's another golden nugget from CCP's chief marketing officer: "We don’t all know how to pilot a spaceship, but we all know how to kill a vampire"

To make CCP understand that people like Mr. Reid are nothing but scum.
How are you going to do that?

I wonder if this is the reason why they are slowly killing off grief mechanics in high sec, hmmmmm Evil

That is the ultimate don't care and there isn't anything you can do, short of dying of starvation,

next to a pack of Cheetos, that will demostrate a don't care level beyond that of the carebear."

It's probably one of the few ways they have left to entice people to leave high sec, if they aim EVE at a broader audience and tailor high sec to suit the whiners who need their hands held then those who can't stand the bleating will head to low, null or whiskey space just to escape the bubble wrap.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

His dishonourable deed is saying anything good about Goonswarm or their attempts to bring new players to the game.

CareBears don't come to my space? I don't even play Eve - I just play the forums.
