They dont want everyone to see the massive drop in player count as the end of the month approaches.
The death rattle of Eve.

The REAL problem is the Russia/Ukraine war. Due to sanctions Russian players are unable to sub so CCP wants us players to make up the amount that they are short. That is cheeky to say the least. They should have kept the prices the same and told us the truth about the reason to hike prices by 34% in one go. Why should we have to do that? It is CCPs business judgement of relying on Russian players, it is only their fault and as far as your comment of âgreat more unique players in spaceâ CCP would not agree.

Perhaps because a lot of people on these very forums were calling to ban those players just because. Enjoy humble pie.
You lost me there. I did neither of those things and voting with my wallet means I can have a voice in the cash grab debacle.
Well, a good chunk of effort was removing topics on the forum about collective punishment, so now people have to pay for the consequences of their loss. They wanted to reduce the number of players based on nationality or ethnicity out of spite, so, this is the consequence, somebody has to pay to cover the lossâŚ
It isnât the people on the forums that is to blame. I was hoping that the Russian players were being allowed to play, but the international banks made to sanctions and that is why Russian players are stuck. I donât think for one second that CCP booted players because they are Russian. Probably Russian players are still playing as alphas, but that means that CCP are losing significant amounts of money. If CCP were actively blocking Russian player there wouldnât be hundreds of then in Russian help.
It would have been if they got their way. The point is that was what many were calling for, and I am highlighting the consequence of such a demand.
Just no. That is not the reason they lost the russian community. The price hike is not a punishment for whatever bullshitery you believe in. Itâs still wrong but not THAT wrong.

CCP would never block a player due to player demand. It would be bad business practice and they would lose even more players. They probably sat back and observed but they were overwhelmed by lack of money from Russia. Like I say there are hundreds of players in Russian help, so CCP let them be.
Who knows, they give in to their other demands, remember NFTâs?
simply said, no
Go on then, enlighten me
Due to international sanctions the russians are unable to pay with their money. They made up a large portion of the EvE community. This is all temporary but not ccpâs or anyone here fault.
So CCP got greedy and took this as an opportunity to increase their price permanently, as to make more money for when the russians come back. All that after ruining the game for 2 years straight and not giving us anything.

They could accept crypto payments.
Sadly I donât think the Russians will be back for a very long time. Even if the war ends the sanctions will be in place for years to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine. Basically we give all of our real life money to CCP to save the game!! I agree with every one of your points, well put.

That will be watched by USA and UK and punishments will be handed down.
Punishments can be handed back up during election times.
