I don't get this strange fascination with CCP's financials


It's simple manipulation 101, how else would one know when to claim EVE is dying , so as to know when to pressure CCP with claims of "if you do more of X (X being the thing the speaker wants personally), you will make more money!".

If CCPs financial situation is good, then the tactic is to claim that "it's unsustainable! So you better look to the future and change the game in the way i find acceptable!". If CCP's financial situation is bad, then the tack to take is to say "see I told you you should have given me the new players the game changes that were needed, but it's not to late!!".

When CCP stopped making their financial information public, well, that's when we started see threads like this lol.

I suppose, but it is all just wild speculation based on literally no information. As such it is a bankrupt approach (no pun intended).
