EA is considered by a great many players to have made some colossal mistakes in the last few years. EA's "Play4free" franchises have not been considered successful by the gaming press. It is not unreasonable for Eve's playerbase to question Sean Decker's competence or "fit" with Eve since he lists the EA Play4free program among his accomplishments.
I'd like to see a statement from Sean explaining why he thinks he will be an asset to CCP and what capabilities he believes he can bring to the table.
I'd also like to see a statement from Hilmar (or similar) answering those same two questions (above) and also how they reached the conclusion that Sean's history with EA wasn't a concern.
I fully recognize that CCP hf. is a privately held Icelandic corporation and is under no legal obligation to explain its hiring practices to me or any other player. But CCP has a history of speaking frankly to her players, and I'm hoping I'll get some responses.

I remember a presentation video that from an exec from BF:H that was the impetus for the incarna Aurum rollout. Is this the guy who made that presentation?
Anyone remember that video? Where the guy was talking about how the forums on BF erupted but the majority of the player base stuck around and paid to play. Which of course led to the famous Hilmar quote of: "watch what they do not what they say"
Hope that isn't him. |

Why CCP... Why? Because subscription system model is out dated and Eve is maybe one of the last ones remaining and still being successful. Now look at that from a business stand point of view, if Eve is successful while keeping an outdated business model (you want alt accounts and whatnot) imagine what it could be if was a free to play game with current business models. Now, I'm not saying this is what I want not this should be happening but on the long term this might happen. I think however this guys is probably the one to get Dust514 from what it is and make it successful , one can hope for Dust and team guys working on it. Don't want to see my Eve become a free to play with massive nerdies and junk players turning around buying golden ammo and federation navy Megas when I, special snowflake Megathron nerd, can only dream some day CCP puts a BPC of it in my hangar.
I'm not sure where the subscription model is outdated thing comes from? EVE has half a million subs, SWTOR has half a million subs, WoW has multi million subs and there are several MMOs still active, that have subs as an option and are very profitable. Excluding WoW these numbers are much better than old MMOs ever reached. Even many of the F2P games like SWTOR have subs and a lot of people pay it gladly. The thing many game makers have discovered is, that there isn't reason for them to limit themselves to subs. The hybrid models retain that option, but also allow increased income to be milked from "free" players and normal subscribers. They're just expanding their payment options in order to gain increased revenue from the same amount of created content.
The problem and advantage of EVE is, that it's a multi-player sandbox with a player lead market and industry. It's a problem because most of the F2P model money grabbing schemes can't work here without ruining the current game by directly ruining large gameplay areas or the competitive aspect of the game. It's an advantage because you can't replicate EVE easily or in a F2P model, so it doesn't have and might never have a direct F2P competitor. It's worth a sub to a large group of players, since there aren't tens of F2P alternatives, that offer the exact same gameplay and options in one neat package. So I don't think there is anything outdated in having a subscription or even a sub only game, but in order for sub only option to work, you really need to offer an experience the myriad of F2P alternatives have difficulty competing with. |

Now you want to increase revenue.. Here is how
1) captains bridges. You get a basic bridge for free, customizations cost cash. Each ship type and race has a bridge. There are a few posts on how to implement it, as well as how to handle the whole "your in a pod of good", aka holographic projections.
2) ship color painting. Can now skin your ship with new colors.
3) ship tags and logos.
4) updating the captains quarters, allowing for lounges in stations.
5) Sell ad space to eve corporations and eve based websites put them on the billboards in the captain quarters and in those space billboards no one looks at. Can eve use ingame isk. I'm sure Test, Goons, Solar, pandemic would love to be able to put up ingame propaganda. |

Hey guys we have a studio reknowned for its independent mindset, customer oriented approach, brave approach to risks, focus on good gameplay over mass-appeal or monetization. Who should be our next leader?
How about a guy who heads up the monetized-softcore games group of the worlds most creatively-bankrupt gaming megacorporation?
That really sounds like a good fit.

EA doesn't listen to anyone, period. All that time I was on their forums IF an EA representative posted anything was to post some official message. One sided convo only.

If CCP wants to tackle the 800lb gorilla in the room to have some presence in the MMO industry, they have to make friends with Activision-Blizzard's enemy, and that's EA.

WHAT THE HELL?!
I wonder how long it will take until we have to pay for the updates, or until the updates come as "DLC" or hey, why not sell every aspect of the game as an own DLC?
Imagine the possibilites:
Skill DLCs Mining DLCs Small Projectile DLC Medium Projectile DLC Large Projectile DLC Frigate DLC
All only for 5$$$$!!!
Cheaper than ever!!!!
TRUE! http://pastebin.com/B7HCtBUE Mittani isn't sorry. He's just sorry that he got caught. He didn't step down because of his actions. He stepped down to benefit Goonswarm. He didn't apologize because he meant it. He apologized to save face. |

To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

So in EvE terms, Gallente is teaming up with Caldari.
What you propose ("make friends with Activision-Blizzard's enemy, and that's EA") may be the course of action that CCP wishes, needs, or should take, but I think you need to lay a bit more foundation before making such a substantial claim.
More to the point, I fail to see how hiring the former executive of EA constitutes "making friends" with EA. Either EA let Sean go, or Sean chose to leave EA. In the former, I can't see how EA would find CCP's hiring of Sean of any interest, while in the latter I can see how EA might consider it "poaching" of talent (which can't really be good for friendship-building).
