I kind of wish CCP was publicly traded. Not because i really care about the company growing but because it would be interesting to watch the stock fluctuations when the company makes giant mistakes like announcing a new game at a gathering for an existing game.

It wasn't really that bad of a mistake, though. (For CCP, not the Dust 514 development team)

I've said in here that they're lucky I wasn't a majority shareholder with this recent bout of events, especially Fanfest.

Yah ... no.
Most people like the idea of an update/PC port/upgrade to the franchise.
Almost everyone hates the hell out of the way they did the announcement and how they churned AUR sales right before the announcement. And no well thought-out answers to the obvious questions they were going to raise.
It was a huge PR cluster fukk.

This'll be the second one for their company. Hopefully having this happen twice will make them think out their next reveal a bit better.

Munch Dust 514 isn't even their main source of revenue, and the number of players in Dust 514 hasn't even fallen that much.
It was a wonderful failure for Dust 514, but CCP as a whole is mostly unaffected.

I bet DUST isn't even 10% of their revenue stream. Likely even less. I mean, they gave the game away for free.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say the number of players hasn't fallen that much but I know there were many, many more players a year ago.
Nevertheless my statements are still true. They handled this very poorly.

The numbers haven't fallen much because the information they should have given us during the keynote is filtering outward. Also, many people are just playing the game until they burn through all their ISK, AURUM, and Boosters before they biomass and uninstall the game.

So let me get this straight.
All you are concerned about is the fact that this didn't affect CCP?

He's saying it wouldn't have impacted them as a publicly traded company, which is what the original post was about. |
