@CCP_Falcon and @CCP_Guard 1. Can you provide answers without a marketing focus, as in have you been given leeway to do so, or is this a core messaging excercise? 2. Can you get Robin to explain to us what an “emergent dynamic” is? Just as a litmus test. Slight edit from earlier in ignore mode, do you think it would be a bad idea for a new owner to introduce himself? To others, I mean. 3. There is no question three, as questions 1 and 2 are the most straight arrows for checks & balances on everything and anything else said. ---

@CCP_Falcon and @CCP_Guard (scroll down for the question, this is just explanation/background) With CCP Rattati (Game Director for Project Nova) elsewhere stating that he is convinced that both CCP and PA are well aware of cultural differences and that monetisation in one region works in different ways than in other regions, is this the actual line of thinking internally? Reason I ask is because if so, then you’ve been had. As PA has already demonstrated that they regard this as just marketing speak, both in their investor presentations as well as in their local publications and press releases towards their publishers, as the bottom line decides what is done. It’s even recently visible in their handling of US/EU publishers and the introduction of Asian types of deep monetisation regardless of repetitive public agreement (with both studios, publishers and customers alike) to not introduce in US/EU markets what they introduced in their home market … _So here is the question_: **what does CCP think of PA saying one thing, but doing another. Consistantly.** I am reminded of Hilmar when he once gave us the advice to not watch what people say, but to judge what they do. Which makes this probably one of the most relevant questions asked. ---

@CCP_Guard @CCP_Falcon Falcon, you are saying the same thing over and over, that nothing(monetization wise) will change after the PA purchase but considering how did they lied to their playerbase, I’d like to know, was “don’t touch eve monetization” documented in the contract that was signed or were those just talks in a relaxed manner? ---

Over the years I’ve found the community rebellions against poor choices both entertaining and awe-inspiring. I look forward to the future explosion of anger and hatred when PA starts meddling, and when they delete all these posts stating they promised now to. Anyone else with me? lol ---

Why didn’t you give the EVE “c0mmun1ty” the chance to counter the offer through a Kickstarter campaign? We’ve already selected a Board of Stellar Directors to step in and represent our interests. ---

When someone buys your house, you don’t typically get to put in the contract what kinds of parties they get to hold, or what color they paint it. Quit badgering the man because you’re not hearing what you expect to hear.
