EVE General Discussion

No one responds to your question because you are an idiot. Your question is stupid and has been asked before. Therefor, no one wants to answer it again.

They can do with their money as they please. Pretty simple.

As I said in the other thread, empire players would have been curbstomped in 20% tidi instead of 10%.

Even if DUST had never existed and all money been invested in better/more servers, maybe players would have seen a 10% drop in tidi. Better? Technically, yes. Worth the expense of new servers and the infrastructure to run them? No. There's just only so much a programmer can do within the limits of current tech and arguably antiquated code.

Sorry, but please enlighten me why your opinion is significant ?

Unless you can augment or support your point, or give me any reason to think why i might take notice then by default i dismiss it as moot.

Next?

Petitioned him too.

Closing threads for no reason whatsoever or using some bad reason which isnt even right.

ISD Dorrim Barstorlode petitioned.

That the outcome of yesterday's event has anything to do with their diversifying into other game.

Hiding it behind the invisibly thin veil of a loaded question does not disqualify it from being your point, and you have offered nothing to support this premise.

Last i checked, i asked a suggestive question based on the assumption of wider possibilities under variable circumstances.

Based on the fact i made no direct accusations i have no onus to provide any substantative evidence other than letting the common mind decide.

It is you who erects the smokescreen.

Care to prove otherwise?

I have seen very little logic to counter my default arguement. The principle one being that a percentage of eve player sub income generated is being allocated to other projects not involving eve. It is an open ended arguement to suggest how things might have been had that income not been diverted to other projects but eve. Are you suggesting in any way i am wrong?

Although I agree to an extent most corporations don't spend it as recklessly as CCP do. Even massive games companies wouldn't rely on the income of one game to fund four or more other projects that aren't bringing in an income, that's just business scale stupidity.

In all honesty i consider this to be a futile reply, The questions i pose in OP and in the other thread i linked are valid and in my opinion un-countered with any significant retort. Sleep beckons tho so have fun

CCP’s responsibility to you ends each month when your subscription expires, you renew a subscription and get another 30 days of CCP’s services, how they invest their money and into what products is not relevant, you are not a stockholder you’re a customer. And as a customer purchasing a fictional reality your expectations of continuity is probably also a fictional reality.

Imagine you are buying a hotdog form a vendor and he excitedly tells you he will be moving into Hamburgers next week, you hate hamburger so you stamp your feet wave your arms in the air and make a scene, but the vendor gets to take the profits he made from your love of Hotdogs and do whatever he wants, Soyburger, tofuuburger, green slime shakes, or whatever he deems is good for his future.

The simple truth is if you want to have some deciding influence in what CCP does, you need to buy a few million worth of stock, get on the Board of directors and set company policy and direction. I am sure CCP is thankful for your patronage, but would prefer you leave RL Corp decisions to RL Corp executives.

Diversifying into the possible next gen of game development is the only sure way to maintain a market share and the continuation of CCP, perhaps not EVE but certainly CCP.
