CCP, you dont rescue or enrich games by recruting marketing scumbags to come up with new ways to milk the player base and try to convince gamers that they should come here, what you wanna do is engage in creative and quality production to make your games outstand the competition.

And how do you think that's possible?

By importing the know how. There's only 2 game companies at the top. It would either be EA or Activision-Blizzard.

From seeing how folks here hate WoW so much, the alternative is EA................

Yeah, CCP recruited someone from EA to learn to produce a "creative and quality production."

In other news, I'm going to get a sea turtle to teach me to fly.

CCP has a great product. They want to hire someone who knows how to make money. They don't need someone showing them how to develop a game. They need someone to help them bring in more cash. That's why they hired him. The fear is that he might make CCP into a mini EA.

It's up to them to show him that's not the path they want to take - if that's not the path they want to take, that is.

I don't hate WoW
I think the lore & history for that game is amazing

I used to play it, then I stopped as it's not really my type of game
I have friends that still play it, so i 've seen how its changed over the years
changes that i think have been for the worse




anyhow, back to OP topic

im a little confused as to what all the fortune telling 'visions of doom' are based on
i'd like to see the links provided to official ccp statements that say they will now be selling 'golden ammo' for $50 per 5k stack
provide the links that back your ranting claims, or remove them as baseless hyperbole

Think you can do better? Know how to operate a gaming company at the AAA level? Know how to market products? Know how to recruit talent, when the market is also trying to recruit the same talent (with better compensation packages even? Ever wonder why these game companies protect their art department? They don't want to lose them to the competition. Much more difficult to find good artists and animators -- that would work for a corporation -- that's prone to free lance. And one problem these companies have IS to free lance to China, because the result is anime animation style, not Disney. In gaming -- not film -- what's pleasing to the eye is high frame rate animations that are smooth flowing. WoW survives all these years with some really old animations, not because of the cartoon style [misnomer], it's because it runs so smoothly on today's computers without the glitching so seen in all these newer MMOs. IF they decide to reduce the frame rates, the animations look every bit like anime cartoons. Fun to watch on TV and at the movies, not fun to watch with a $500+ video card and $2000+ computer rigs).

There's a lot of stuff behind the scenes, that go unsaid, but part of game business.

CCP needs to recruit outside talent, if they want to produce the AAA titles. They need the insider help that only comes from working in the big game houses. From there they can -- hopefully -- attract more talent. It's the talent that makes a game good and sells it.

CCP is doing so good they're going on desperate hiring sprees hiring youtube girls and pay2win weasels. Check yourself before you wreck yourself with such rants brah, its empty-minded crybabies like you that are stagnating EVE and holding it back from becoming a rich universe with that "internet spaceships" shiet. Wait and watch the next space sci-fi mmo come out like Star Citizen and u'll see where those 500k subs go. Not being able to grasp that the only reason why this old and rugged EVE is still suceeding to lure some ppl here and getting some subs is because its the ONLY sci-fi space mmorpg out there only shows ur deep dementia and loss of contact with reality.

List the "AAA" titles that EA has produced in the last two years.

Could you go into more detail about what CCP is supposed to learn from EA?
