Ccp has wasted a lot of our time and money on failed projects. Vanguard will just be another one. They should be putting the money we give them into the game we are paying for. Maybe they’d actually be positive money wise on the yearly earnings report if they focused on the one game they have that people actually want. Some of you have been playing long enough to remember Dust others here are new and don’t know anything about it. This isn’t the first time CCP tried making a pet project fps with real game integration. It failed just like this one’s gonna. Every single side project they have dumped money into has failed. They need to spend that time, money and energy on eve.

It’s not your money (nor your time).

As a person who spends their time not doing anything of real value and only simply effectively steals from people in game by baby seal clubbing I can see why you wouldn’t understand how basic capitalism works.
I’ll break this down so even a grade school student would understand it. Money talks and it speaks all languages. Companies want our money. We invest our money regularly, in this case monthly. For a rather large portion of the game multiple times monthly because multiple characters. We have certain expectations from the company we give our money to and if for some reason they don’t meet those expectations they stop getting our money. Enough people do that and the company starts to realize “hey maybe we shouldn’t have done that”
Welcome to today’s lesson on basic economics and capitalism.
If the analytics from this comment I’ve posted in other places are accurate it would seem more than 70% of the people who’ve interacted with it agree with the original statement.
People genuinely either don’t know or just forget how much power we actually have over companies just by either spending or not spending. We have the power to decide whether a company fails or succeeds collectively.

For every dollar you don’t send to CCP, I will send them two.

Your math is still a little off. The analytics from the cross post show 70% of people agree. So if 70% of eve decided to not pay for eve for a few months youd have to pay 140% to effectively “pay $2 for every $1 not spent”

You tell me you know so much, but you also tell me you had no time to read and verify your claims of the initial post against the last fiscal reports from CCP? As I suppose that would take the air out of your posts?
analysis of CCP’s financials, the studio recorded net losses of $18.8 million in 2023 and $19.5 million in 2024, despite increasing revenues in 2024. The studio’s cash on hand also fell significantly over this period. Pearl Abyss reported a significant operating loss in Q3 2024, leading to a low point in revenue over the last five quarters. In June 2025, reports from Korean media surfaced that Pearl Abyss was seeking to sell CCP Games. This was attributed to CCP incurring significant losses and failing to meet the parent company’s expectations since the acquisition in 2018. The rumors were followed by a statement from Pearl Abyss clarifying its position. In 2022, Pearl Abyss recorded a $50.9 million impairment loss on CCP Games, primarily due to higher interest rates and lower forecasted growth rates. This was a revaluation of CCP’s assets and indicated that the expected future earnings were lower than initially anticipated at the time of the 2018 acquisition.

Well, the thing is they have to try to expand and try new things. It’s healthy for any enterprise. It just happens that most of their stuff fails. But they got it right with EVE. I don’t know what their rate of success is, but maybe they need to go through 500 failed projects, and then that 501st is a success again. Not sure EVE players are willing to dump that much money into it, but we have so far.
You do know that most game studios have multiple titles right? Why is CCP getting the blame? If they weren’t trying to branch out, most of that money would not go into EVE Online, but towards PA or CCP executives.

They could do that.
They could also make me development lead and we go through 10 projects and have 10 major, internationally renowned and multi-award winning successes that literally end world war 3 because everybody wants to play my cool games and not die for old rich people and mega corps.
All they have to do is ask me, and it’ll be done, just like that. Insurmountable glory and renown is just a questionmark and a handful of US dollars away…

Most people know what WD-40 is. But the story behind its name is a bit cooler and something I tell my members at my work when they try and try and dont seem to succeed.
You see the 40, in WD-40, stands for its 40th attempt at making a lubricant. Its now a world famous name brand product. Had they stopped at 39 wed have never known it at all.
As much as I hate CCP spending money on sh*t titles and crappy vaporware at least theyre trying. Sure Hilmar is probably just wasting money to make him and a few rich and also keeping the lights on for Eve, nevermind paying his workers and staff, but yeah… at least theyre trying something new. Yes, I believe it could be in better stuff but theyre trying to engage on cutting edge markets to find the next billion dollar game. Hilmar might be throwing money away but I think hes throwing it into the market to try to make more.
So cut CCP and their vision down all you want, the one thing Hilmar is is a salesman of his visions. Yup, theyre not the best as I think theyre long shots but if they manage to pay off youll see fireworks. So least theyre trying something instead of just sitting on a one trick pony.
But then… opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one and they all f-ing stink!
