CCP taking risks? Well, they are Icelandic…

By on October 8, 2010

Alec Meer of Rock Paper Shotgun wrote a polemic about why I shouldn’t have published Ten games businesses that are doomed

That’s his prerogative, and I am currently working on a post explaining my rationale.

But in amongst the feedback, Keith Neilson made a comment that explained why CCP is so comfortable taking a big risk on Dust:

“Doomed? No, Dangerously Risky? Absolutely. But what do you expect from a nation that lives on an active volcano, poking it for its electricity.”

Kudos.
