I don't want to start talking about the end where it's not even close, but let's say the unthinkable happens. What if CCP goes bankrupt? Or for some reason they choose to or are unable to continue hosting EVE. What would they do? Would they stop development but pass the hosting on to someone else? Would they smother it with a pillow and kill it?

No, I'm sure Hilmar would pay with his own money just to keep nerds happy.

Oh god no, I suspect thousands of us EVE players would raid EA's offices with (insert EVE weapon of choice here) and take EVE back from that pathetic company.

I'm sure they have learned a few lessons from the local banks....

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Having played games of both companies, I can safely say that EA is even worse.

I'm sure some other company would be willing to step in, if they understood the value of the plex program.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

They're not named Shadow Of Evil for nothing.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

One of the very few things that could make me insta-unsub. And yes, people could probably have my stuff.

I wanted to quit last year. but didn't want to give away my stuff. So I sold all my stuff and bought/activated few plex. I forget how many. I know I won't run out this year, I think early 2014.

Respect. Cool

See NCSOFT and "City of Heroes" to see what happens to a money making game when the parent company decides it is not making "enough" money.
