For all we know, CCP could have gone to their investors/owners and asked for a separate pool of money to continue development of EVR aka Valkyrie. Its likely we'll never know what impact the development of the game has on other games. What we do know is...
Development is happening in England (Newcastle iirc), this is where servers and a lot of technical, non-game-designy things happen. EVR was originally developed as a side project by Eve devs The 3d headset used, the Oculus Rift, is still in development EVE:VR was a huge hit at both fanfest and E3 The space-sim genre is currently a barren wasteland (unlike the FPS scene that Dust is trying to compete in now).
People have wanted a game like this for 15 years now, and with their existing lore, art assets, familiarity with space-things, CCP is definitely the company to make this game, and they would be foolish not to. |

lolno. If you think CCP is not discussing the competition coming from Star Citizen and Elite in their board meetings then I would like to show you a bridge in NY that i would like to sell you.
I agree Star Citizen would be the most direct competition Eve has had in a long time, but if you think that a game announced this week for 2014 can actually serve as "insurance" for Eve, a 10-year persistent mmo with hundreds of thousands of subscribing accounts, then you might actually be in the market for my bridge. |

some startlingly stupid comments in this thread.
