EVE General Discussion

I dont see how it can be considered stepping on CCP's toes when CCP hasn't actually done it yet. Would be a bit
childish of them to say "But..but.. we thought of it first :("

SC has announced support for the Oculus Rift. Is that also stepping on CCP's toes?

I mean cmon people, in SC you have a game that will have all the playstyles CCP has split into
three different games all wrapped up in one nice little package.

EVE has been in 'maintain' mode for a while now, SC has peoples attention, and some of my money, money that was
being spent on alts, but was removed when they made it very clear they were'nt actually expanding EVE anymore.

CCP has had plenty of opportunity to spend my money, but now I think it's time for me to give it to someone else
and see if they will deliver on their promises.

When SC has failed to destroy EVE or deliver a comparable playable game 12 months from now, will the SC zealots be crying about that failure here, or on the SC forums?

I thought espousing EVE's demise using CCP's forums was considered rumor mongering.

I can see the appeal of writing walls of text talking down on better competition, in lack of real arguments of course.

No matter how harsh reality can be sometimes, one is better off accepting and dealing with it instead of entering a denial spiral while sticking the head on the ground like an ostrich. You will find that such behaviour often leads to psychosis, depression and/or loss of self-esteem, among other painful mindsets.

Lol inb4 lock for rumor mongering/futorology/psychiatric evaluations

Well we learned rumor mongering from all the promises CCP made the last few years .
So if CCP can ,why not us?

Smaller budget, also still in development and not releasing till sometime in 2014 (at the earliest). Also unlikely to be on the same scale of universe as Eve.



And has also never done an MMO on the scale he's promising before. Freelancer gets filed under "close but no cigar" in the MMO department and while it was a good game the initial scope was overly ambitious and the final product was a scaled down version of his initial promises.



Theoretically, eventually. Right now they're at the state of a buggy hangar viewing app for early backers and the full game won't be out till some time in 2015 which means about 4 Eve expansions before they've even released their full game, let alone having all of these various features polished...



There's a difference between delivering what they promised and delivering what people expect. They say things like "epic space combat" and everyone takes that to mean something different. The number of hard facts we have on the game is actually fairly small and it's still really early in development.

If a dev is honest and says "we can't do all of those things by X date" people accuse them of being lazy or tell them to hire more people. Except that game-devs aren't lazy (in general) and can't afford to hire more people (again, in general) because making a game doesn't mean you don't still want to be paid a living wage. Most of the really talented devs, especially the technical people, are in the industry in-spite of the pay check, not because of it. Most of them could get a pretty nice pay bump moving to Microsoft or any other more mainstream tech company, because Microsoft Office sells even more copies than even the most popular video games.

I was going to unsub anyway, so i thought I would say it here just to be part of the cause. Plus, if CCP do finally get around to it because of the number of lost subs I can come back to Eve.

You forget in this reply the promises CCP made .

Not my point... and EVE's budget at the beginning was 2.6 mil... I mean that it's yet abother online spaceship game with a persistent universe that maybe does some things better then EVE... there haven't been all to many of those in the last couple of years.
