So... Does this mean that EvE will turn into an over simplified arcade-mode space game? Shall Dust become a generic fps title? Will The EvE universe now be targeted to an even lower common denominator than WOW?


DUST would be lucky to achieve the status of 'generic FPS'.

Thought it was a troll when I read the title, but now I feel a little queezy What?

CCP please keep a tight leash on this guy. Like an overprotective parent with their children in one of those harnesses with the animal on it.

There was a time I would have purchased game titles from EA, but that's not been for along time now. I just avoid them like a plague these days.


Like a lot of you guys can't say I feel too comfortable about the current situation, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

lololol

He at least worked for BF2142. Some hope possibly for DUST.

But come on CCP, you're not going to do the DLC with EvE now???

I didn't buy Northern Strike nor the BF3 DLC content, as I'm didn't support the nickel dime model in 2007 and not starting now.

This will end well...


I'm not going to judge the man by his past employer/past actions, but it is worrying that he immediately steps into a position involving both EVE and Dust.
While I can see his past experience can be beneficial for CCP in terms of marketing, I simply can't ignore the fact that he is coming from a company that ruined many good games.

As mentioned before in this thread: Please keep this guy on a short leash, CCP.
Before you realise it, CCP could be turned into another EA takeover.

Anyone else find it interesting that they added new tattoos to the game, which aren't available yet, and the hiring of a former EA F2P guy on the same day? I know I put my tin foil hat here somewhere... Roll

All I can say is that CCP needs to be very careful with how they're handling this. EA has a very sordid history, and are not exactly popular.

Oh, and for all those "hisec is a carebear wonderland wah wah" nullbears? Just you wait - in two years time activating weapons on a player in hisec will be impossible and wardecs will be abolished. You know, to attract more newbies/money.

Great now I'm covered in vomit.


I'm having the same problem. Maybe there's a bug going around.

I, for one, gladly welcome CCP Crash And Burn to the company. He needs to be a permanent fixture on Tranquility however. So I can shoot him perpetually. Just because he once worked for a company voted the worst company ever, lol. Twisted

Absolutely. I cannot imagine a more confusing scenario than the VP of product development stepping ino a position that involves the company's products.

Wait, yes I can. It would be way more confusing if his position somehow didn't involve EVE and Dust.

Bad news, just plain bad new.

EA culture is really not what you want CCP running with right now.

This is like saying water is sort of wet.

And I will put this out there now:

Paid DLC will be the death of Eve. Probably not in terms of subscribers or income (you can always find more newbs, after all, assuming you make the game themepark enough) but it will no longer be the game we all love. It will be a shell of what it is now, and on that black day I will happily march with whomever wants to go straight to the starter systems and suicide gank every damned newbie I see for daring to break our game.
