CCP Games has experienced some troubling economic times, and unforunately, that means people are on the chopping block. A studio in San Francisco closed.
Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
Game Rant recently spoke with CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, who discussed the future of EVE Online's universe and the new player experience.
A brand new PvPvE shooter, EVE: Vanguard, looks to succeed where Dust 514 did not as a candid CCP Games reflects on its 20-year journey.
Dust 514 was such a unique game back in the day. I only played probably 10 hours of it because the balancing was way off, but otherwise it was an interesting idea.
Was a unique idea that was never realized, it didn't go beyond just being and playing like an outdated generic FPS. It never got better, and then they shut it down. If this follows the standard of your typical service style fps then it won't live long either.
One more shining example of why PC Devs who become famous for their PC Games should NEVER EVER venture into the Console realm.
CCP wasted 30 tons of ISK making that CRAP game Dust514 that NO ONE on console is playing and NO ONE on console is buying anything as it was a Free to play game.
The game has made NO MONEY!
AGAIN stop catering to CONSOLE when your bread and butter is PC.
World of Darkness a revolutionary MMO got canceled
Eve Online Updates were late, ticking off the community
CCP closing Studios
Eve Online fans jumping ship
two executives leaving
plus more unannounced troubles coming down the pipeline
all due to CCP making a suicidal decision to make a console game.
STOP MAKING CONSOLE STYLE GAMES WHEN YOU ARE A PC DEV.
nothing but bad happens.....See Crytek see CCP See ID See DICE/EA screw up BF4 see the next idiot PC dev to start making console style games and watch them suffer a horrible Death.
