With Eve News continuing to push the "Sony purchasing a share of CCP" story, now might be a good time for me to go back to my gaming roots and give a few thoughts on the situation. I'm not too happy with their coverage so here are some facts that may or may not interest players of Eve Online.
I've been writing a long post in my head parsing CCP's motivations for recent actions, but having Sony come aboard as a major investor would be a much more straightforward explanation of what is at least a spate of internal confusion and dissent at CCP.
In particular, I seem to be much more convinced than most people that this:

This is all just rumor and speculation though. And in the meantime, EVE is exactly the kind of thorny project that ends up getting crushed by an acquisition.
