Could CCP lose control of its game? Could it be turned into something we don't want because shareholders think themeparks make more money?

On the other side, can the players participate in the IPO and then save EVE from destruction? Seems the only possibility to save the game on the IPO scenario.

You are a sad individual who doesn't have a clue about what IPO is or how corporations function in our society. Just stick to your nonsensical rambling at whatever cave you are from.

I am very angry about the prospect of having dumb people flooding the forum and disseminating non-sensical bullsiihht in our EVE Online forum. I am angry at the fact that OP's post reminded me of how many more of these uneducated folks will be flooding the forum.

Rich indeed, coming from a blowhard malcontent like him who, incidentally, is part of the dumbing-down problem in these forums by his very use of profanity-filter evasion.


Addtionally, if a computer game enrages you so intensely, I would hate to be in the restaurant when the waiter mishears the order. I bet it'll be like a massacre in there...

After reading your eloquent ramblings I came to the conclusion that maybe we should be required to submit grades and/or a singed and verified IQ test before being allowed onto the forums. Roll

Thoughts?

Of course there will be a massacre. I am not paying $260 at the Fat Duck to get a shtty service from an equally shtty waiter/waitress.

I never said my IQ is above the average players. I just don't want a misinformed community college graduate disseminating wrong information on the EVE Forum.

That's funny considering the OP did none of those things, all he did was ask a question about that interview. If he came and posted "CCPs selling up, Doooooom! Dooooom!" you might have had a point. There is nothing wrong with asking, its much better than remaining ignorant.

Eh lar, calm down

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...

Sigh...This is not RL, nor do your have too read every post.

Some weird dudes play this game for sure. So stop and take a deep breath. Walk to the mirror and take a long look, might motivate you too at least post fewer "I am stupid" comments on these boards.

Thank, Bye now.

Yeah. They're tired of dreaming up new content and figured a bunch of stockholders could do it better.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.
