Very interesting ! Suspect flag was putted on insisting/blackmail by null sec lobby and their minions in CSM. This was first time CCP stand against null sec lobby. Is it because all new PVE content are idea of new owner ??? Does it mean that there is new Chief in town and mitani is history ??? ---

It means alarge section of the game weren’t bothering with the higher tiers because of the additional and unnecessary extra layer of risk. It’s a good move and shouldn’t have been there in the first place. ---

maybe its just a rough estimate based on players logged in there always more subbed but then there always people with alts or people who arent subbed but used to play and would be interested in buying some ---

C’mon people WAKE UP !!! Look at profit structure of Pearl Abyss as development studio , and their distributor Kakao Games and profit structure of main player **KAKAO company** , you will see: mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile … noone care about New Eden they need EVE IP to put in mobile game and earn billons on Asian markets New Eden, “super computer” in London, your petty accounts and PLEXS, blue donut, “great space battles” etc … are just relics and is just small small small part of purchase … ---

And not all companies operate in this manner. Or are you attempting to say there is literally no market for non p2w games? ---

They exist where they fit into the existing bussines plan, Asian mobile market is no place like that. ---

Asian Mobile Market is not the entirity of gaming, so I dont see its relevence. At the end of the day, if you arent the richest person in the game, what is the purpose of playing p2w? And if there is no chance of winning, why pay? ---

I know that but that wont stop a game like EvE appearing elsewhere, and there will be people who will take my money for it, whether you like it or not. But please enjoy your safespace p2w game where you can NEVER be better than the person who is richer than you 🙂 ---
