ROFL. But CCP is the toxic one right? Its their fault that their own player base is self-sabotaging itself? ROFL. ---

Sorry I am late to answer . . . No we are now in that order. I pretty much agree with Brisc. It is a singular event, may bring new blood to the game. If you do not like it? Do not take part. m ---

> [@Gragnor](#): > > Then why do it? Because BBC approached them with a marketing proposal, it doesn’t cost them anything, they do a live event that provides content for EVE players, the create an opportunity to market the game to new players that target a demographic that EVE already appeals to. There’s literally no downside for CCP. If it doesn’t work and they get no new customers, it has cost them nothing they wouldn’t have already spent doing a January event. The game I love is still here, because the main reason I play the game - my friends - are still here. We’re still fighting wars, still making funny stories, still enjoying ourselves. I have never particularly paid any attention to EVE’s lore, so a crossover like this doesn’t bother me. My kid is 11 and he plays EVE. This game is nothing compared to some of the stuff he plays. > [@Hadrian\_Tobran](#): > > Yes Brisc there is. They need to fix the dang game rather than pandering to some leftist woke trash of a show. This will push more players away than it brings. And I hope the player base is mad enough to make the npe for all these new woke fans terrible enough that they leave. Obviously they need to fix the game, but I don’t see how this is precluding that. The live events team does live events, and they’ve been doing live events for year. It’s not like they’re going to stop doing live events. People like them, and they have a lot of engagement. You can tell by the MER every time there’s a popular live event. If you don’t like the IP of the crossover, that’s fine. ---

I admire the rationalization. I think you could use it to support almost any tomfoolery from CCP. “I don’t care if CCP wrecks the game experience, ‘cause all that really matters are my friends.” Nice. ---

Not a rationalization. When CCP wrecks the game experience and my friends all want to quit, then they won’t be here. But I don’t make my decision on whether I keep playing the game on what CCP does in an update. ---

Why leave out the part where they aren’t quitting over a scarf 😃 Cause it wrecks your narrative huh? Honestly, I’m glad this crossover event is happening. It truly shows what the player base is now. Literally most will cry and throw tantrums over scarves. But uh, we’re supposed to be scary griefing MMO right? Our player base are literal softies who throw tantrums based on a 2 wk crossover event.

Not really. To me its just companies doing business. I’m also a large Who fan, so I’m fine with it. TBH I am really super. super. baduper tempted to buy a scarf and wear it just to trigger people. And I am totally against buying clothes in this game LOL. ---

If BBC offered money and if CCP is short of cash, this had to be an automatic yes. Someone has to keep the computers on for the Alpha players. ---
