Obviously, I could be wrong, but I don't honestly think any companies of that magnitude are interested in a second string, Iceland based MMO that's been losing profitability for years. And more broadly, I don't think they're interested in the company that owns that MMO and hasn't really been able to make any other product stick in the market.

CCP has been dwindling for three years now. The buyers are more likely to be some Korean MMO front house or simply a holding firm or something.

LOL they are evaluated at 995 million and you think they are doing bad?

I dont call 995 million second string. Youtube sold for 1.65 billion which is not far off.

Whether they show it or not ccp is doing very very well.

An exclusive game already with google and you KNOW that means huge bucks in the bank.

Google dont fuc* around boy, they are in the business of making huge amounts of money.

They are definitely second string. Yes, they're doing bad. Also, CCP thinks it's worth $995 million. Let's see what the number is when they eventually sell.

Take a look here:

The FTP spike looks to have mostly worn off as well.

Those graphs look very successful to me, I dont really know any other games with 60,000 + players on at once.

I am pretty sure those are just eve numbers as well nothing to do with the gunjack 1 or 2 release on google daydream, which is where really big money comes in.

So you think ccp did an evaluation on themselves? I am pretty sure due dilligence companies are hired to do that sort of thing so buyers and seller dont have to.

Your right if it did sell it might not be 995 mil it could be a heck of a lot more!

Hate how you call ccp second string.

Do you also call google second string?

How about EA?

I think you are second string.

ccp is deep into VR and that is currently where huge money is not EVE or fps.

The future of gaming as we know it is VR.

Guess you never wondered why ccp gives their VR stuff top priority, releasing 2 games before a non VR game gets a single update.

Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence. You touch my mind, fumbling in Ignorance, incapable of understanding.

If its activision you can rejoice cause they will implement supply drops (from COD) into EVE on day one they take over. Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence.

Guess you never wondered why ccp gives their VR stuff top priority, releasing 2 games before a non VR game gets a single update. Huge money in VR? What? You are delusional if you think that VR headsets are selling well. The overall interest in them is low~average at best. The main flaw is that there arent any noticable games for them which means the broad audience (aka casuals) is not interested. Then we have the rather large pricetags on them sure PS VR is the cheapest and Ocullus/Vive offer a better experience but they rquire a very expensive PC to run and even worse the Vive actually requires you to have a whole room dedicated just for the thing itsel. So knowing that CCP isnt a "VR company". The only brand they have in possesion thats worth something is EVE or shall i say the subscirbed accounts on it? Investors are only interested in that or shall i say the possibility of implementing more micro transactions to it to milk the cow? One thing is for certain if the ownership of CCP changes they will push the development of more "pay 2 win" concepts. Like how about selling ISK directly to the players? Or have vendors in the game hat only accept aurum where you could then fit your ship together. Its not a far fetched concept. Just imagine they would start selling fully fit frigates for like 2Gé¼ a pop? No grind needed and ready to fly on the get go. The bigger the ship the more it would cost. Like this: -Frigates: 2Gé¼ -Destroyers: 3Gé¼ -Cruisers: 10Gé¼ -Battleships: 20Gé¼ -Capitals: 40Gé¼ -Super Capitals: 70Gé¼ And dont act like CCP hasnt done this in the past. They done it on Dust till the game got shutdown. You could make entire Dropsuit fits by purchasing the stuff from the market via AUR. The potential is there and if a new owner wants a quick buck they will do it. Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence. You touch my mind, fumbling in Ignorance, incapable of understanding.
