Will there ever be items that can only be bought with money, that gives a player any advantage?
Like Pay2Win.
Thereās no plans at all for us to change how we monetize EVE in any significant way - pretty much business as usual for us.
Pearl Abyss have been pretty direct with us, and the public about the fact that they want us to keep having complete control over how we treat EVE and its community.
Can they write it on a peace of paper in front of a French ānotaireā so we can litterally close thāyere society in EU if they lie ? I think same could be done in US
How much money was earned by CCP 2017 and how large was the profit?
This really isnāt the venue for us to be talking about financials and stuff like that - weāre more focused on making sure that community concerns are answered.
What I can say though from my own personal point of view is that I have no worries in that respect about EVE.
Internally, CCP is VERY transparent with revenue numbers, and things are looking super sweet.
Itās just the right time for us to change owners to someone that suits where weāre trying to take things, thatās all.
Can CCP guarantee that they will remain independent now and in the years to come? Is it possible CCP can be leaned on to implement features that current Eve players would consider p2w?
