Eve Online: Revelations II interview
I missed this one earlier in the week - Ten Ton Hammer have posted a Revelations II interview with Magnus Bergsson, CMO of CCP Games:
Ten Ton Hammer: Before we get started with the Revelations 2 questions, would you mind commenting on the situation with the GoonSwarm and how that whole situation occurred? There have been a large number of media outlets following the story, so I though it best to ask the question up front, so we can move on to more important matters.
Magnus: The allegations have basically been proven false. We need to clarify exactly why this is happening from their end and so forth, and that’s best done in a statement so that nothing gets misquoted. They enjoy this obviously; now we just have to deal with it. We have a very open dialogue with our players, and this is one of the results of that. This is a game people take seriously, and some people take it a little too far.
I think that some people forget that this is just a game. Basically, there is nothing like this going on at CCP, and I think that goes without saying. They have people that might have a desire to hurt us, and then they have people that believe everything that is said about the game. Perception is reality, I guess. We just need to deal with this, and in the end it may lead to something really good. We’re doing a lot of cool stuff with the community, so it’s just a part of being with CCP and having an open dialogue with the users. It’s to be expected, to some degree.
