CCP, I'd like to offer 110 billion ISK, please.


Send me the isk and I'll triple it. Increasing your stake twofold while you generously give me 110b for 1/3 control😃

Ask anyone that played SWTOR from the start what they think of how it has gone since EA bought BioWare

Lmao. This game would be dissolved if they purchased EVE and the devs would be let go or some will be added to Roberts game -- if that was the case.


No they wouldn't. They would start selling all EVE ships above T1 to players for cash only. I don't know where i'd find $350 for a Machariel lol..

EA games is pretty much ALWAYS a potential buyer.



If i remember rightly EA game aggressively tried to buy EvE a while ago and was literally give the middle finger and told to **** off. The EA representatives were bitching about this in the hotel when they got back and said they would bury the game.

Mate of mine was working in their hotel at the time and they were not quiet .

This is actually very interesting, and tbh devs will be as interested as we are as while they are important they won't be privy to internal sales, so they are likely asking the same.

this is one to watch.

For better or for worse this will be a defining moment.

If they sell the eve to some big gaming company they will probably complete wis and implement planetary exploration with gunfire between avatars. But they're probably going to remove the PVP full loot because big games companies see it as a "niche" feature. This will result in the end of the game.

RIP EVE

Come one, this is Eve and CCP. It's CCP trying a real life market scam!! They'll list the game for sale on the market but as soon as someone takes the contract they'll discover it wasn't the entire Eve game, it was an anniversary edition box set and all the codes will have already been redeemed!

btw, in the news it doesnt said that CCP is selling EvE.

Actually i suspect that they will sell something else.
I doubt that EvE costs 900 mil...
too cheap if you ask me

Man, you could be hit by meteorite by accident and die, why would you want to live if it is all going to waste? Pirate
I am of course joking, but that is slightly similar thinking to me.

Have fun when you still can. Smile

Interesting tidbit for you.

In the U.S., you are more likely to die from being hit by an asteroid than die from a terrorist attack. By a large percentage.

Just one of those little things we students of statistics find interesting.

If that greedy greasy egocentric megalomaniac ever lay his hands on EvE,
I'll reprocess this char and never ever start playing again similar game.
I pledged basic amount for SC on KS when it was reasonable project years ago,
but what I saw so far it only makes me vomit when I just think on it.

EA enabled that game. Without a lot of cash up front, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as big as it was.

With that said, their recent expansion did a very successful job of multiplying the number of "I'm unsubbing RAGEQUIT!" topics. TL;DR version they made a lot of changes which made a lot of the game's most social players mad, and "cash grab" rightly comes up quite a bit.
