Can I have your stuff ? I swear I won’t use it, it will corrode in my hangar, and when it’s old and holed I will sell the skin so CCP can make new minmatar ships. ---

> [@Retribution\_atSubZero](#): > > CCP is all about scoring as much dough as they can before…EVE 2? Pearl Abyss owns CCP now. They’ve hinted they plan on making a mobile game. From the article: “Moreover, the global trend of the video games industry is to expand beyond PCs into mobile and console platforms. Cross-platform games are already the norm in Asia, and North America and Europe are following on the same path. Based on these market trends, we became certain of the future growth potential of competitive IPs, and thus made the decision to acquire CCP’s Eve Universe” [https://www.google.com/amp/s/venturebeat.com/2018/09/06/ceo-robin-jung-tells-why-pearl-abyss-bought-eve-online-maker/amp/](https://www.google.com/amp/s/venturebeat.com/2018/09/06/ceo-robin-jung-tells-why-pearl-abyss-bought-eve-online-maker/amp/) ---

It is partially an exchange rate issue. The game is nearly twice as expensive to play as an Australian compared to a decade ago when I started. Low interest rates and low inflation should have meant not much has changed. The obligatory, vapid “can I haz yur stuff”, “Good riddance” comments made me laugh though. The forums haven’t changed in ten years. You people should be embarrassed but I know you’re missing the required genes. 🤣🤣🤣 For the record, I blew some isk and plexed for a month. We’ll see how we go. ---

Sorry to see a player leave, but dang…in the US the annual sub is $10.95 which is really not that much. You get a years subscription for about 1 days worth of work… ---

Well…ok…seems to be a bit picky, though… You seem a clever sort, so surely you didn’t think he meant 10.95 total for an entire year? I’m sure you picked up on the fact that 10.95 x 12 = 131.40 which would seem to make the 10.95 reference fairly clear. ---
