This is quite possibly amoung one of the worst things CCP could do to EvE Online and other EvE related topics. EA has for the past two years held the title of the worst gaming company in history. Inside the industry the gaming community have known just how bad EA titles have ben. Look at the companies EA has bought out like Westwood, Maxis, Bioware, Origins all great companies prior to EA getting their greedy hands on them. Now look at them, ruined titles or just run into the ground. EvE is on the rise and is doing rather well compared fo its competitors, but this move really has the potential to ruin that, just like how EA is a ruined company today.

Nothing?

Nothing is quite possibly "amoung" the worst things CCP could do to EVE?

Because that's what you've got to ***** about so far.

This thread should be required reading for the new guy. Just maybe it'll add a little perspective on how loved EVE is and to serve as a cautionary tale.

EA hasn't bought CCP because we would have heard about it a long time ago and the same thing can pretty much be said about Sony "owning" CCP.

Also, CCP is a privately held company unlike EA that is a public company.

Depends whether Overseer EA defines personal attacks loosely (banned for talking down to the company) or tightly (deservedly banned for legitimately trashing a dev for his personal life).

Pray tell, what perspective would that be? That a large part of the EVE community suffers from Paranoid-schizoid tendencies (esp. paranoid anxiety) and it rants and rants without being advised to seek help?

EA are rather notorious for their forumdickery to be fair. Banning people for criticisms, banning people from all their games for a forum rule violation, etc.

Glare with a print out of the Cyno icon, point at them, and then your eyes, and then back to them.

They'll get the picture.
