This comment is everything that is wrong with CCP today. You simply do not care about the work and effort you customers have put into tools to support your game, and you just poop on them because it serves your purpose. I'm not sure you understand who you're talking to. I really don't want to be rude so instead of trying to tell you how much I care I will suggest you go talk to any active third-party developer and ask them what they think of me. I know a few are a little annoyed with me and a few of the things I have done but I don't doubt they will all agree I care a HUGE amount about them and the work they do. Hell even right now a few of them are going to be upset they only have three months to do the work... but they still know how much I care. So please, don't give me this "CCP doesn't care" crap because it is complete garbage. That is just my comment in response to you thinking I don't care... for the sake of not being a complete ******* I am going to not respond to how you think I treat third-party devs.
If you think the last five years have been successful, then prove it by the numbers, CCP once used concurrent player count and subscriptions as a measure of success, which I and much of community agrees with, more that play more opportunity for fun, because that is the reason why all of us play this once amazing game. So please put up or shut up, because the concurrent player count has been slowly dying which is a huge indicator to the lack of success of EVE development.
Now if you're measuring success by another means, like say revenue than by all means EVE has been extremely successful, I'm sure revenue is up because you turned every new feature into a way for CCP to get paid, you turn your players into one big piggy bank. One big problem with this approach, While you can have a successful game with focus on revenue vs community growth but once the revenue goes negative, its only a matter of time before EVE Forever because EVE bankruptcy, and knowing that EVE has a time limit to how long it will be around vs the endless wonder this community once offered its gamers, the desire to player fades away along with the great memories we all once shared in this community.
So if you want to prove that you actually care, show us the success that EVE has enjoyed over the past five years, show us the increasing concurrent player counts or subscriptions? Instead all you can show us is increased revenue and strong return on investments on development for micro transaction features.
Not trying to be rude or anything but only thing you care about is $$$ and the proof is in the numbers ;) |
