I seriously lol’d. But that is so true.
It is not the first time he makes this claim. He even claimed missing out of lots of money because somebody else realised an idea before he did … or something like that. This dude has a “vivid imagination” …

The only fact here is you’re not doing it right. It’s CEO unworthy use of language.

Maybe he meant to say “I am the ideas guy of the team” but obviously CEO sounds much more legitimate

After reading this entire thread, I can confidently say that very little has happened to the EVE community. In fact, most of this reeks of 2006. The petty arguments over semantics, the obviously ■■■■■■■■ claims about RL import, the saltiness… it’s all alive and well. If anything, this thread has given me immeasurable hope for the future.
NO no no. I have multiple characters that are the CEOs of corps ranging from one to twenty five members. They are recognized as CEOs and do the stuff only a CEO is allowed to do.

lol - naari thinks you’re hilmar? hahaha oh my that is funny!
naari…you think “hilmar” is “salty” over selling ccp for 425 million and getting what was it, 7% or something like that in his pocket?
Also, ccp is not “on it’s way out”. We - much if not all the current EvE playerbase - may be sooner or later but ccp itself has far from served it’s purpose in PA’s business gamble. You brag about being a “game studio ceo” yet can’t see what PA’s likely move is? Hint - not in alignment with what you say…

Umm, Hilmar didn’t sell CCP, the investment company / partners / shareholders / board of directors is who sold CCP. The total price of $425 million includes both cash (I think it’s like 250 mill) and a bonus payout if certain financial targets are met within a specific time frame.
Also when Eve was first started, Hilmar and a couple of other ex-CCP Devs did a lot of the programming work on it for at least a few years, I read some of their Dev postings back when I started playing this game in 2008. In fact a lot of company CEO’s do programming / coding work at the start until their company get’s established.
Anyway, this is just a general observation, not specifically meaning you. Obviously nobody here has access to private personal info about anybody else. So in my opinion those who quickly jump on the persecution bandwagon and start calling somebody a liar when nobody can refute their claims reeks of jealousy and resentment.
Granted there’s going to be a few trolls who will constantly do it regardless of any facts presented, I don’t think you’re one of those, I just mainly wanted to correct the statement about CCP being sold and kinda got sidetracked..
Correct, of course. I should have said something like “you think “hilmar” is “salty” over the selling of ccp” hilmar held 7%-10% of ccp stock, iirc, so…

Yeah, that’s “only” $30-40 million on top of any money he made before that point, I’m sure he’s really feeling like a miserable failure after making enough money to go retire and live in luxury for the rest of his life. Meanwhile our favorite narcissist and fraud can’t even name a single profitable game he has developed. So really, who is the failure here?
I do, because its really chump change. Like i said, kixeye is pumping flash games for 600m a year, how is ccp doing so bad? Its only produced game is 10 months in before death, and the collapse of the company.
btw, he was also given strong argumentation to change his thinking and shift eve, but ignored it. so he can sit on a few million that will be meager means for him, as i doubt he will go anywhere after.
Who cares. Hilmar is still richer than you will ever be.
This is very much the case.
In the industry we have to bow to large scale producers or stick it out with a small team until you hit it big. There is up’s and downs for both. For example, producers tend to stick their hand in the pot while its cooking messing up the recipe, while on the other side smaller teams mean limited budget which puts financial strain on the individuals undertaking the task, or limits their time which slows content releases, updates etc (which you trade off for freedom to develop the game how you think it should be).
To be honest, the best way to go these days is small group and make something from it. As devs we really need to stop feeding the power grip.
You are very, very wrong about that.
No, I’m very very right. You’re a delusional narcissist who can’t name even a single profitable game you have developed, the chances of you making $30-40 million are about as nonexistent as your chances of having sex with anyone but your mom.

Basically we decided not to write on these forums anymore, since you noobs and fanboys just keep posting the same garbage as usual. “Why this change” - “tears tears tears” etc.
Just stop posting your noobjunk and maybe we will come back.
