This past weekend, Eve Online gamers started rioting and attacking in-game trading stations in response to new micro-transaction policies by CCP Games. Senior Producer of Eve Online Arnar Hrafn Gylfason took to the official game’s blog to address the lingering issue in the online game.
“The opinions and views expressed in [the newsletter] Fearless are just that; opinions and views. They are not CCP policy nor are they a reliable source of CCP views as a company. The employees who submitted articles to that newsletter did exactly what they were asked to do, write about theories and opinions from an exaggerated stand,” said Gylfason. “While it s perfectly fine to disagree and attack CCP over policies or actions we take, we think it s not cool how individuals that work here have been called out and dragged through the mud due to something they wrote in the internal company newsletter. Seriously, these people were doing their jobs and do not deserve the hate and ****storm being pointed at them.”
“We will gradually introduce items at other price points, definitely lower and probably higher than what s in the store today. We hope you enjoy them and are as passionate about them as you are of the current items that are for sale,” he added. “I hope I’ve addressed your concerns and cleared up a lot of the issues you re having. We ll continue monitoring the forums and other communications channels and pick up and reply if there are concerns not covered by this blog.
