Where did this extra 500 mil come from? You are so out of your depth is hilarious.

What are you talking about you smooth brained koala? CCP was started in 1997 for 2.6 Million and sold for 425 million in 2018. If you don't consider that profitable, I'd like to see what you think profitability is.

It's amazing how you can be so wrong and so confident.

What? What are you talking about?....you think a failing company is worth $425 million? How do you imagine valuation for such purchases are performed? Hint - Profitability.

Not overly profitable and sold for $425 million? OK buddy....

Who cares? You implied that EVE was losing money - it's not. You then said that my sources were bad and never posted evidence to the contrary. Now you are moving goal posts about player numbers vs profitability.

I have multiple accounts. Two are beta'd and those are not attached to monthly fees - but others are post beta and DO have fees. So yes - I am absolutely running alts with the expectation that the money that is being spent sorely for their SP is maintained. I am also only playing this game today because I expect my time investment in this game to be retained.

NQ was pretty explicit about the lack of wipes. To say it's 'beta' is pretty silly - Warframe is still 'beta' - and yet a wipe would be unacceptable. I came to this game with certain expectations and promises and opened my wallet based on those.

Very presumptuous of you to assume that players who played legitimately and poopsocked mining for weeks would not be upset.... I'd be livid. There is a reason I didn't play in Alpha and do play now. That is the wipe. I picked this up and made alt accounts with the expectation that my progress would be preserved. Worlds Adrift had lots of wipes for adding content and cleaning up exploits - and shockingly that did the game no favors. No magical new players showed up post wipe to replace those who got burned out by the wipes.

They made their choice. That is the nature of this game forever due to the time locked sp system.

Nah - I like this fresh new game which JC is very much basing on EVE based on his own statements. Why you came to a game that the creative director is basing on EVE is the real mystery.

The stock market is literally pvp.....

No I am saying you have a 'unique' interpretation of it.

Undercutting my sales order is also pvp. How dare you list your warcells cheaper than mine!?

Post your sources. Go on. Post them. Show me how EVE is dying....it's been dying since day 1 according to the likes of you.

These financials? https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-02-23-mine-asteroids-build-space-stations-this-is-the-purpose-of-life https://massivelyop.com/2020/05/06/ccp-intensifies-fight-against-covid-19-hopes-eve-online-will-outlive-us-all/ https://nosygamer.blogspot.com/2020/08/pearl-abyss-q2-2020-earnings-call.html Yeah dude - nobody.

Hot take. NQ explicitly allows org theft. There is nothing to discuss. It's not an exploit because it's INTENDED MECHANICS. Good Day Sir.

I can't think of a single game where someone clearing out the guild bank was considered a breach of game rules. DU has explicitly blessed org theft. Deal. With. It.

The game isn't meant to be played solo. Look at EVE and look at how much the power dynamics changed in the game over the years despite no wipes and rampant imbalances and even devs helping already op corps - and yet new comers often previled. A wipe will not level the playing field. It will simply reset it. The game is just 1 system. It's a tiny fraction of what the game will be eventually so the current power dynamics are entirely meaningless.

Org theft has happened in literally every game including pve games since the dawn of time. Stop chewing on so much eucalyptus...

You have top tier understanding of how DU works....

Yes - it's very hard for me to understand given that there are no bases in pvp areas.

That's an interesting theory you have but what evidence do you have to suggest that new players would magically show up because of a wipe?

We'll have to agree to disagree.... So given that org theft is explicitly allowed by NQ - where do you think org theft is supposed to take place?

The "delayed' game thing only works well when you have infinite money and can delay infinitely. But hey - if that quite is gospel - StarCitzen is going to be absolutely amazing when it releases in xmas of 3532....
