Dev blog: Black Desert Online makers Pearl Abyss to acquire CCP!

For now I’m staying on the side of cautious.

I’m sure someone with professional background experience can do some projections.

That’s CCP’s problem. Product level issue.

Till now everyone and his dog RMT in Eve, and now ccp RMT them all…

Not really. It’s business. It’s investment management. It’s gaming industry.

It is not as if there is little to no real world sample base on established methods and practices.

Does that mean CCP Guard is gone also??? I’m not saying he is ugly (nor anyone for that matter) but he is tiny; damn I liked that guy…

they’ll be wanting to recover that 425M, that much you can bet your arse on.

no they wouldnt
they would have to generate say 30m over 6 months
so the buyer can say okay you generate 60m a year
and in 10 years we make 175m profit on our investment
why would they make ccp pay 200m of their own bonus
if they could do that they wouldnt sell the company

Bye and don’t go back we need fresh whealty players not bitter and exhausted veterans.

:fu:

ccp have great visual effects and some gameplay that is more that enough to make “Farmwille” in space and there is great market for that kind of game in East.

I never would have thought CCP would be worth $425 Mil, but 425 mil PLEX seems about right ($55Mil).

The problem here is the math. Maybe that problem is my math is wrong. Maybe the problem is my math is right. Either way, it doesn’t pass the sniff test. I hope I’m just wrong here.

At the end of the day, if we assume that the average sub earns them $25 a month on average (mixture of plex sub, monthly sub, and NES purchases), and that they’ve got a 10 year recovery plan (which I feel is FAR longer than they would actually want to commit to), they need 141,000 subscribing accounts for those 10 years.

That’s just to break even after 10 years. Either people spend a LOT more on NES stuff than I expect, or PA is going to P2W the ■■■■ out of this game.

Until ccp concentrates on bringing in and keeping new players they won’t generate anything.

They need to remove scamming and high sec griefing in all its forms to allow players to nurture and not leave because of all this. Only then will playerbase grow

I guess you mean nullsec

I mean I don’t play anymore, so you got me there.

There’s no highsec griefing in nullsec, so you’d probably be happier there. :wink:

so you don’t get to add any input since you don’t play.

After playing since 2011 until the start of this year, I think my opinion matters just as much thank you.

I play Eve and Bdo and both are p2w
