I am still waiting for his response as to why he keeps with this dying dinosaur called 'PC gaming' when he has impeccably predicted its impending doom.

I'm just worried if whatever he has is contagious, that's all.

And to think we joked about Sony or EA buying CCP during Incarna. Well since they still have financial difficulties (and product roadmap difficulties) perhaps he is like Stephen Elop in Nokia still being controlled by Balmer :)

Eve is dying... just waiting on Netcraft to confirm it.

Expect more DLC and monotising of in-game items and employees, good luck as we all know EA are great employers :)

Alas I remember when EA was tiny small in the 80s.

Curious, anybody know why he left EA? Bootted or pupet mole in CCP?

So EVE is dead and we are all dinosaurs because the earth is someday going to be struck by another cosmic extinction event?

O.K.

How about something actually relevant instead of trying to backpedal?

There's a million angry citizens looking down their tubes..at me.

They're going at best hybrid now. BF3 is a perfect example of it, XBox; PS3 and PC. And that's the future of gaming.

I don't make the decisions, I'm just pointing out the reality.


This is where we disagree.

You're just pointing out the "business intention and bashing" around it because customers are simply sheeps, flowers with no will and let alone brains to think about anything else but what you're ready to put in your commercial.

That an educational problem that has nothing to do with reality. The reality IS that your current console does nothing more than your PC but for far more money less flexibility and far more constraints only to feed a business model based on "specialness"

How the fck can you say my computer is a copy of your crapy console when the first ever joystic is a fcking computer one?

This might as well become truth for ids who don't even know what it looks like to turn on your computer and do all your work under DOS, who have never seen what it looks like the first arcade games and first calculators with integrated games when the crappy thing had for even less than 16mb of first ram version.

This is not a very old past, it's the current present a couple years ago but despite all this tech going faster and faster you can't simply remove the computer base out of the equation simply because the first gist of it was simply genius and hundreds of year advanced.
Take your tablet, does it looks like your console or like your computer?
Take your smartphone does it looks like your console or like your computer?
Take a close look at your car inboard tech and tell me how it looks like.

Noes my friend, you're wrong. Console as concept is a short term business and only business concept just like Apple will be in a couple years if they continue the same route, finished the snowflake individualist products, generational products are the best way to improve the base offer in terms of product it self, its price, ASS, and software/programs reliability.
Everything that is a special snowflake is dedicated to be at some point a dinosaur, nothing else.

Looking through his gaming credits: http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,11359/

It would seem he wasn't involved in that terrible fiasco at the turn of the century where EA killed Origin Systems, Bullfrog, Westwood, many beloved gaming franchises and even tried to re-brand Maxis. X

He can stay.


Actually Michael Moloneux (Bullfrog fame) went to Microsoft.

Ahhh Westwood, they done the Eye of the Beholder series etc... oh I remember those damn spiders

Anyone who had absolutely anything to do with Command and Conquer 4 should be shot.

EA is quite possibly the worst gaming company on the face of the planet. Hiring someone from EA is not something to be proud of. They should have known better than to ever even let this out to the press.

This is the first time I've ever felt like declaring "EVE is dying."

But that isn't what I asked. I asked why you are staying with this dying platform instead of moving onto more greener pastures.

So, first CCP flirts with SOE and then with EA?

I have played games from both, and both companies imposed disaster decisions, disaster politics, failed economic models, terrible (and payware) customer service, horrible lock ins and DLC.

Are people at CCP nuts?

May I invite a CCP manager to play a couple of those companies MMOs for one day? Just so that he understands the kind of nuclear toxic waste they are to team with?
