EA?? We're doomed!

Soon we'll have to pay for updates and expansion and after that the game will be striped down and simplified to appeal to the masses. Shocked

When the #1 game publisher says it's on the decline, and offers the financials...yeah, it's on the decline.

You can put lipstick on the pig. You can dress it up to look like a cow, but the numbers show the decline.


IBM said they would only sell 5 computers once.


And Bill Gates said we only needed 640KB of memory.

Look at Microsoft today.

Makes more real money than Goons ever hoped to e-v-e-r acquire in their lifetime.



Ok, sorry, but what? WTF does Microsoft's financial statements and Goons real or pretend money making ability have to do with companies occasionally making stupid public statements that come back to bite them on the ass?

Seriously Ace, normally I can ignore the tinfoil, but I think yours is wound a bit too tight.


Been affecting the oxygen supply to his brain before "we only needed 640KB of memory".

wasn't proved that certain tinfoil hat configs actually increase the amount of microwaves one takes to the brain? maybe he needs to tone down a bit or we'll have monkey brain for dinner...

CCP doesn't have much of a choice.


If they don't compete, and the MMO players decline (due to consoles), they have to do something.




This is not even close to happen.



First because PC games are the bases of all gaming styles you ever see around and second because consoles are getting closer and closer of just another PC and not the other way around.

Let's put it this way: things I predicted for 2 WoW expansions -- and for the same reasons -- came true. Those fanboi catcalls just like yours was loud and mean. They were all wrong.

Been doing this for 10 years, Doc. I'm no spring chicken to these things. And I'm don't guard turf to turn another game into a dead one, full of dinosaurs protecting their special interests.

Welcome aboard Mr Decker. Good call to leave EA, especially after what they did with the SimCity4 you produced.

Then you are a bad predictor.

Even before we attack the second expansion I already had the chance to be in in the second top Europe killers team (yep this was my internet gaming goal at that time so what???) and we had this post from some anonymous internet nerd guy with the exact content explanation and close name to what it has been done for about 10 years as expansions and content.

You are wrong and time will prove it.


Edit because I can: Eve is far more complicated than the most complicated scrip you can find in whatever game out there because there's a factor other games do not account and will never be able to by design: players MADE content and this brilliant concept of free to play a_la_Eve.

Hello Frank! Welcome to CCP! I'm sure you and CCP [REDACTED] will be great friends. In some way you have my sympathies, because CCP has once again let one of their new hires out on a line to dry.

So, riddle me this, if you predict PC gaming to be dead. Why are you here then, playing a PC game of all things?

Oh, and I shall fetch a pimp cup and popcorn for this.

Um, so what? You have yet to actually prove anything.

This is EVE, please do us all a favor and just go back to WoW, you seem more comfortable how they do things there. You only seem to want to implement your bad ideas here no matter how asinine, while expecting us to believe you are some kind of an "expert" or "wizard".

You're chasing ghosts.

When gaming companies embraced consoles as the means to deliver their product, what do you think the outcome would be? PC gaming growing?

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.
