"Gaming Industry Innovators" CCP and White Wolf to Merge
Now this was a bizarre announcement. Here the Press release.
In brief, CCP, the creators of Eve Online, have merged with White Wolf which will be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCP.
What does this really mean? Well, there’s nothing official out there, but there’s talk of an Eve RPG and either a World of Darkness, Ravenloft or Exalted MMORPG. But the truth is that the only people who know aren’t spilling the beans.
Of course that still hasn’t stopped the hivemind of net forums wibbling about Angst: The MMORPG or that one of the companies is the doom of the other (it doesn’t matter which way around).
What will it really mean? In truth I don’t even have any theories on this one, it’s still all too bizarre.
Update:
Just found this quote: “The merger will accelerate CCP’s brand development of EVE Online as White Wolf will bring their expertise to the creation of EVE Online strategy guides, collectible card games, role-playing games, novels, and miniatures.”
