CCP in big money trouble

In short and after reading through the thread a bit, it states that CCP has put too much money into DUST and WoD and now they are short 8m and can't afford to pay off their loan which is due on the 28th October. (i think)

they'll either have to do 2 things. Raise revenue of eve (explains MT) and take out another loan to pay off the current one before the end of the year (need to raise revenue to show the bank they can pay it off) or they can sell off some of their company / sell out to bigger company.

so in other words, if no money by 28th October, no eve, no ccp. (or so that’s the message i'm getting)

What has that management done

discuss.

EDIT: link to the report on that post is down but we have the report here

Activision will buy CCP, don't worry about it.

I wonder how a "plex to save CCP" would go down after the past week.

Tbh, im skeptical because this is really information supposedly dug up by players. If there was some sort of dev response to it it might back it up a little. While it worries me that this could be the case it also wouldnt surprise me with what has been going on the past week. It is entirely possible CCP bit off more then they could chew.

well it is an annual finance report, even if it's dug up CCP still has to have it pubic, it was going to be found sooner or later

Which has already been supressed by CCP. So i honestly dont know what that links to. It could be a link to some MLP video.

eve has always been dying. One day it might be true, like the 29th oct

be interesting to see how they dig them selves out of this hole tho

IMO SOE should buy it, they do such a great job with all their games
