So here's the deal: CCP CEO Hilimar Veigar Peturisson has, for the third time, tried to expand CCP in to another game and failed miserably. The end result is some really cool people in CCP were laid off. I think it's time to apply lots of pressure to get Hilimar to "resign" (read: be fired) from CCP.
The plan:
Step 1: Identify who actually owns CCP:
We have a
2015 filing of CCP's financials. It identifies the stock owners of CCP. The challenge here is two-fold: The filing is two years old (shares might have been sold.) and most of the companies that own non-trivial portions of CCP seem to be Icelandic. We would need to find someone who speaks Icelandic to call these companies and verify they still own parts of CCP, how much, and if not, who they sold their share to. We would also need contact info (emails and phone numbers) for step 4.
Step 2: It's time to Rage
Get everyone to cancel their subscriptions. Make a Google docs form for people to post in to. The person would need to submit their characters name and am imgur link to a screenshot verifying they cancelled their subscription. Pull out a few classics like rioting in Jita, etc.
Step 3: Get media attention
Lots of cancelled accounts and riots over the most recent layoffs is an easy news story to write. Media attention is bound to get stockholder attention.
Step 4: Tighten the screws
Using the contact info for the stock holders we get all of the Eve players to call, email, write letters, etc. to the stock holders demanding Hilimar resign as CEO and be replaced. An overwhelming tide of calls and emails notifying them that the players who unsubbed are going to stay unsubbed until Hilimar is given to boot will hopefully get their attention. Another round of easy media stories.
Step 5: Keep up the pressure
Email every day. Call every day. Stay unsubbed. The stock holders listen to money and annoyance. Not making as much money because of the unsubbed players plus having a slammed email inbox and a phone that won't stop ringing will hopefully get them to realize the easiest and best things to do is get Hilimar to resign.
