CCP currently has over six hundred employees spread across three international offices who are developing three videos games. They made commitments to strategic partners. That all amounts to many deep promises to keep. The subscriptions from EVE Online pays for the development of all three games.
Incarna was designed to introduce the EVE to a new generation of potential EVE players. A bold new universe that would appeal to gamer whom want to see their character avatars and apparently would put real dollars to purchase pixel apparel for the prices that are greater than the tangible goods located in the in online merchandise shop. CCP upper management sought the professional opinions of game industry consultants outside of the player community and company.
So with the advice of such esteemed outsiders it seems that pixel Monocles for $68 dollars would sell and it understandable that the playerbase emo rages and mass cancel subscriptions now. Let them blew off some steam. No need to communicate. Eventually everyone will drink the cool aid and buy the designer pants that CCP owns on their servers
Betting the farms on pixel Monocles and pants like this
It's just crazy.
