The current state of EvE Online is what you get when you have an AFK CEO, throwing away piles of money on failed project after failed project for ten years that could have been used to hire developers to actually work on improving EvE Online, suddenly given financial incentive (via the PA sale contract) to make something work that he doesn't understand, yet has the power to change/destroy.

He is literally doing anything he can, including potentially salting the earth, so he can make his bonus, and walk. I hope someone at PA will recognize this and stop him before October, because it may be far too late by then. CCP Hilmar doesn't care about the game or community, only about himself.

My only hope is that he leaves after October or PA fires him when someone in Korea realizes how monumentally he's screwing up EvE Online and causing players to flee.
