The font is very nice and functional. To bad the launcher itself is still mega bugged. The blue, well....it's blue. I preferred the gold/yellow.

Who decides this/how does this happen?

They sit at a big table eaxh shouting their favorite fonts while belittling others?
Some manager going like Guys they hate the launcher, we need a new idea for it to fix it!
Just some sneaky dev sneaking it in?
They read some workplace psychological paper on font choice and purchases?
Someone sent out a 911 or whatever they have other there email and be like Omg the launcher font is terrible, Priority One fix now!

Seriously how does this decision come to be?



Oh yeah...

AND WHY??!

I'm pretty sure they change this stuff just to troll us. Some of the threads of people whining on the forums/reddit are pretty amusing.

Is this part of an initiative from "some new art guy" ?

I'm fairly sure getting this info advertised 'heavily' (you know, videos, interviews with Reddit, evenews24 and TheMittani websites) could do a lot to prepare many of us for these changes.

If you let us know, we'll convert 'criticism, bitching and moaning' into 'Constructive criticism, bitching and moaning'.

I noticed there was something wrong with the launcher, but couldn't quite put my finger on the issue. Guess this was it.

Thanks CCP.

Well thats simple. They apparently wanted to rile you up enough to make another overexaggerated thread. Maybe they have a drinking game based on how often you make a thread that drips of entitlement?

"Oh look CAM is whining again." An office email would announce your latest whine-fest. The body of the email would then tell everyone to take a shot of their favorite alcholic beverage. Then proceeds to tell them to pick a random thing that would get you all worked up, and change it... the drinking game continues on and on. Until you biomass or all of CCP dies from liver failure.

The launcher was yellow, the launcher is blue. And it still takes 55 seconds to launch my EVE. Roll

very true, the launcher itself should has some lighter version without those ads, articles and vids - just accnt name, passwrd boxes and start button. Please.

You call it launcher, i call it updater.
