CCP for sale?
Endie:
Unlike the undoubted top-tier business analysts posting further up this thread I wouldn't like to try to place a value on CCP, but I am confident that the last thing that an investor at the high-nine-plus digits scale would be looking at would be the value of their cash-cow game per se. Their VR work is seen outside the ex-player bubble as excellent and that expertise would be worth a lot to someone in the current market; their experience in massively multiplayer server technology is literally unmatched in its field: nobody else is sticking thousands of players in one 3-dimensional environment, all able to interact (albeit barely so above two and a bit thousand); they have a very substantial number of current and past players who represent a very valuable target marketplace for the right products; and they have an established Chinese studio, which is potentially a big deal for a variety of reasons, some more speculative than others.
But I'm sure you guys are right and it would be "fire sale" prices, shaped by the lack of the White Wolf IP of all things and with "a less valuable property to buy" hard to think of.
And Hilmar didn't "fuck up" or "kinda disappear". He's head of a company of which Eve is not even the most important component for their future. I chatted with him about his visibility over an utterly revolting prawn cocktail cake that he made, and it was pretty clear why he was focusing on other areas of the business (even if *he* wouldn't have said about Eve what I just did there, to be clear).
