Wow, glad to bring out the randoms.

All this talk about smart business...so why has CCP missed the boat before? Usually only one sale around Christmas, this year three. Plus a sale on the CE. Sorry but this isn't a coincidence and I do not think it is holiday related or we would have seen these rapid fire sales before.

I do not think this is Dust related either. And as an experiment into F2P, consoles, shooters, etc Dust is what it is anyways.

My guess is we won't have to wait long for the next sale. Probably see at least three more before the anniversary. And my guess is the money is headed to Valkyrie, not EvE

What sales are we talking about? I've seen one, but which are the other two?

I'll engage crisis mode when CCP offers lifetime subscriptions for EVE online.

CCP having sales on stuff, obviously they are desperate for cash and Eve is near death.
CCP stops having sales, obviously they are desperate for cash and Eve is near death.


Sales are good for business. They encourage the type of person who'd step over a dollar to save a penny.
Not like a PLEX has a bunch of outlay/production cost to begin with....

PLEX for Good - 12345 PLEX effectively refunded. (Not to their original buyers, but from CCP's perspective it's a refund being issued).

Kinda makes sense to push a few more PLEX sales after that. Then you have the fact that customers expect sales around December 25.

Actually the major point in think most people are missing is the fact that this is the first year PLEX has been for sale/available on Amazon, whose entire reputation is built on their sales.

Obviously there are going to be more PLEX sales especially when its major distributor built its name around undercutting retailers and other outlets on their products.
