That's the sum of it.

So if anyone is going to complain about EA, you can, but they'll never respond no matter how much trolling and yelling.


Yeah, not like they've recently demonstrated exactly the opposite is true or anything.

EA has made a ton of changes to Origin and recent offerings based on player and community feedback. Still making more mistakes than good decisions, on the whole, but saying they're not listening is just ignorant of reality.

EA deserves about 25% of the hate it gets online. The other 75% is just bandwagon, circlejerk, "Hey, look at me, I hate EA too!" huff-and-puff. It's kind of silly.

This thread should be required reading for the new guy. Just maybe it'll add a little perspective on how loved EVE is and to serve as a cautionary tale.


A thread to show what is considered "bitter vets" in this game. If they don't get their way, they'll poop on their front lawn, set it a blaze -- burn down their own house in the process -- then repeat it in another game.

Oh, and not before blaming the new guys of being "entitled". Roll

Actually, that's EA games' strategy with everything. Throw massive amounts of money at it.


Right, but why would they run the product into the ground/ruin it first? If they want the company for the value of its franchises, why would they ruin the franchises before buying? Makes no sense. Don't try to back pedal off your nonsense.

It'll be cheaper...first off, then they could rebuild the game as they see fit, more then likely change it from monthly subscription to micro transactions.

$5 Jump Clones anyone?

What amazes me is seeing the same alt posters that so fervently defended Incarna back in the day coming back as new alt posters with the same writing patterns, generic bland faces and same rethoric

CCP you could do better with your spies.

We don´t care honestly.

Don´t defend the undefendable, you are like Will Smith trying to make his son happen, it WONT.

But you just got done explaining that they're willing to throw a bunch of money at things. They don't need cheap. They have money in the bank to pay for things if they're worth it.

So instead of just starting a new product development which would be infinitely cheaper, your theory is that they are going to INFILTRATE another company with a highly-paid employee, slowly ruin the franchise so it's basically worthless, still pay a TON of money to buy a now-worthless product, all so they can rebuild it after having ruined it and lost a bunch of subscriptions and gotten a ton of bad press?

THAT'S your theory?

Haha. Come on. Seriously. Can we have a serious discussion grounded in something resembling reality?

EA isn't flipping that employees salary, and its literally been done to death multiple times in the business world. Didn't that happen with Microsoft and MS-DOS?

Stop being a tard. EA didn't remove content from any games to sell if after as a paid for DLC. All the DLC they sold are added optionnal content not required to play the game. They are nickel and diming the people who are willing to pay for such stuff ant not the whole playerbase like all the complainers are currently making it out to be by making claims that core gameplay emcanics will require you to purchase stuff.

CCP throws crap at a wall and hopes things stick...

Fine for a Labratory type development environment but not a live product.

Remember CCP hired a much faboulous real life Economist, well, have they eaten him or something because after that apointment we stopped getting updates on the economy in Eve.

Now we just get dev blogs with charts on how wonderful new features are.


CCP cannot finish a single thing, I was hoping to see a real change with a real economist running the in game economy now its just same old stale crap.

OMG CCP. I'm really worried now.

Please no. Don't be infected by EA. Keep ex-EA people AWAY from CCP team. :( Seriously! I known EA ever since they bought Westwood Studios and they burned it to the ground! All they care is $$ and releasing sub-par/half finished game products.. Once an EA guy, is always an EA guy. All EA guys are liars! Please reconsider about this guy or anyone relating to EA!

Because PLEX is not a micro transaction right? Let's see.

Pay real $$$

Recive in game item you can use for various function.

I wonder what's missing for it to be a micro transaction.

PLEX, was introduced to fight RMT.....it works! (To a degree)

CCP tried to mix it with micro transactions, Incarna and layoffs.

Online store essentially dropped, never expanded.

King of micro transactions hired by CCP.

PLEX is a bit like buying a store gift card. Use it for a service, give it away or trade it in-game.
