Satirical video about Hilmar and Blockchains

:psyccp:

Trying my hand at something different from the usual PVP videos. This video is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

How old is CCP Hilmar?

How to bot your iceland cow farm?

Why all the economist are fired and isk inflation hits all time high?

Purely satirical work. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Can someone tell me if the fat blond young man in the video is also Hilmar or is it another person?

Also, what’s blockchain and what does it have to do with EVE?

EVE Frontier (new blockchain game).

Hi, @Arthur_Aihaken

Thank you. I will see what that is.

So I take it that the young fat man is also Hilmar.

Could be (assuming so since the video is dedicated accordingly).

The video was too fast, the words and pictures went too fast. I didn’t understand any of it.

The future™

Your posts are cryptic, Uriel.

So I get from the video that Hilmar is wrong about the future?

You got a ban for criticizing Hilmar? Isn’t that a form of tyranny?

Why are you making fun of that man? He’s trying to run a company the best he can. This isn’t right at all and is equal to ranting and trolling.

@ISD_Buldath This thread isn’t right. Posting a video of Hilmar making fun of him isn’t creative criticism and is more like ranting and trolling.
This thread is useless and Uriel is lucky I don’t fold him backward in two just for his insolence.

No, it isn’t a form of tyranny and he probably deserved it.

That video is pure idiocy. The post needs to be hidden by the community and OP needs to be given 7-day cool-off.

It’s a botched video made by a talentless rookie.

EVE has somewhat of a tradition of roast-videos or posts: of the game, of CCP, and of other players.

People make fun of most game dev leads because at some point, every dev company makes what many in the community believe to be horrible or harmful choices.

I myself often disagree with the decisions and direction that CCP chooses to take EVE in, and/or with the other business decisions/ventures (mostly failures, some limited successes) they embark upon.

That said, AFAIK, Hilmar isn’t a game design guy: he started out as their network/hardware nerd IIRC, then moved up a bit, then became CEO when basically all the other founders bailed to do other stuff. And as CEO he’s been less about EVE game design and more about financial management and some ‘new venture’ stuff, and he’s always been lured by the “next big thing” concepts.

So I agree that the video is basically junk (although I was happy to see some of the old captures in it). Hilmar has done a pretty fair job at what his actual job is (keeping the company up and running). Game design and coding complaints should be directed at those who actually (mis)manage that stuff.

As for blockchain, I’m not a fan either, but that’s not to say there’ll never be a use for it in games. Let the man have his enthusiasm for his techno-toys, there’s worse things to take amusement from.

It looks like it. I didn’t understand any of it.

I also think that Hilmar shouldn’t be attacked that way. It feels underhanded and oportunistic.

What can i say… when you make a mistake im going to call it out because thats the best thing for you and others who are effected. Its called caring and doing the right thing. To not say anything is evil and weak tbh. Maybe there’s a nicer way to say it but CCP doesnt get the message when you are nice.
