PA wants their money back. That is why marketing peeps work overtime, while devs have to listen to what marketing says and do what they want. That is my idea after watching all of this mess.
Hilmar sold CCP independency to PA, got his money, and now people have to pay those profits PA wants from CCP. Its like CCP have debt or something now.
Imagine CCP Falcon was writing on those forums that nothing will change… people were right tho:
CCP Falcon then wrote: I’ve always said that if I ever lose faith in the future of our titles, mainly EVE as that’s where I’m focused and born from in terms of being at CCP, that’ll it’ll be the time that I check out and move on to do other things.
I can’t see that being any time in the near or distant future. I’m feeling VERY good about all this.
And after one year he was out.
