EVE Online produced by CCP is a star wars-themed online game set in sci-fi space and allows players to travel among over 5,000 planets on their own spaceships. CDC Games used to have high expectations of the game, but now it is giving up on the game.

I see nothing wrong with their interpretation. Roll

They say they've given up on the game, did they even bother starting?

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Or if it's not available I'll buy Yahtzee's Thousand Year Albatross P


Also this site seems to be based in China judging by the slaughter of the English language... hope CCP never has to file for bankrupt

Time to start writing news articles, I guess.

That was such a pathetic attempt at writing. If the "writer" is over 12 years old, a brain transplant (remove cabbage, insert brain) might be something to consider. I'm not sure, but putting their logo on graphics captured in EVE might be grounds for CCP to ream someone a new a$$hole. I know I'd have a problem with my creative output appearing in such an infantile "publication" and I use that term LOOSELY.

The real question is, why would someone intelligent enough to play EVE be poking around idiotic sites like that in the first place, hmmmm???? It's so (what was that again?) PATHETIC, the link shouldn't have been posted here. Tsk tsk tsk. No cookies for you, original poster dude.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

you normally im not one for wanton lawsuits, but some are merited... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES...

CCP is firmly within rights to sue, since there not even giving the right facts anyways, it easily bypasses the "parody rule"

then again that only applies the states so... yes, CCP should sue

Have you ever considered that bad "news" sites these days are known to write absolute crap (inflammatory crap at it) because it brings them clicks and pageviews as people rage over the errors and spread the link, proclaiming how the site is clueless.

Some do it with misleading headlines, some just outright knowingly write crap that can be explained away as "oopsies" in a pinch but is fully designed to get people riled up.

Smart people do not spread links to bad sites that try to drive traffic to watch their ad banners by outputting crap.

(it is sad how bad average internet content has gone these days... but I guess "you get what you pay for" - when content is free, it doesn't have to accurate or good and everything is fair game to get more pageviews)

Mainly because there are no substantive penalties in place to discourage frivolous lawsuits.

It seems she's too stupid to be able to use any objects within a kitchen without doing serious damage to herself.
