Thatā€™s internal finances stuff that we canā€™t just dump on a forum or weā€™d have our internet disconnected probably :slight_smile:

Actuallyā€¦you should know, itā€™s only fair. The numbers are as foll

I mean EVE Seoul would be pretty amazing.

Weā€™d have to host it in Gangman though, thatā€™s my only condition.

Coincidentally, itā€™s now 18:44 and Iā€™ve been listening to Gangnam Style on repeat since 16:30.

Just realized :rofl:

  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 ā€œemergent dynamicā€ 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.

Are there thoughts or desires to re-establish CCP as a 100% independent owned and operated entity?

@CCP_Falcon will the game die will it still be pay per month will it get more expensive to play ( if your not a carebear ) will it get cheaper what does this mean for the long term players like me that have played from day 1

Hey! I gotta go home to dinner but Iā€™ll drop in over the weekend and see if anything went unanswered. Keepā€™em coming if something is still unclear (apart from the precise details of all future events hehe)

@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 youā€™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.

Itā€™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 ā€¦

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.

He SOLD his shares, that means heā€™s out.

Iā€™m going to take off for now guys, but Iā€™ll answer some more questions tonight.

Going to go see ā€œThe Nunā€ and have the ā– ā– ā– ā–  scared out of me, hopefully. :rofl:

Is it right that PA acquired CCP because of a Jita scam?

You can see the ā€œrules of acquisitionā€ on google. That should be enough:

Punctuation, bro. That paragraph made my eyes bleed.

Here: ā€œWill the game die? Will it still be pay per month? Will it get more expensive to play? (If youā€™re not a carebear) Will it get cheaper? What does this mean for the long term players like me that have played from day 1?ā€ - @captain-sum_tingwong

@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, Iā€™d like to know, was ā€œdonā€™t touch eve monetizationā€ documented in the contract that was signed or were those just talks in a relaxed manner?

Over the years Iā€™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 didnā€™t you give the EVE ā€œc0mmun1tyā€ the chance to counter the offer through a Kickstarter campaign? Weā€™ve already selected a Board of Stellar Directors to step in and represent our interests.
