I guess this means WoD is finally put out of it's misery...Does this mean the "community reps"will be getting the ax as well? |

Considering WOD was featured prominently as part of the CCP line up (EVE, DUST, VALKYRIE, WOD) in their latest video I kinda seriously doubt they suddenly decided to stop development. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Yeah, lay offs can only mean that things are going down, not up. Besides, why couldn't most of these guys be moved over to work on EVE? If it was the money and not their role I wonder where CCP's going... The Drake is a Lie |

Clearly DUST and the recent expansions have been so successful, that CCP decided they don't need to make any more new games and can rely solely their existing megahits.
Seriously I doubt they'll kill WOD, since it's currently their best chance of making another popular game. It's a known franchise with a popular theme. You'd have to be a colossal fool to let it die. |

They did base the development out of the Atlanta office. Would not be the first time they did a 180 with marketing. |

As there is a total lack of evidence outside of a couple Twitter posts I would hold off making any predictions. It may just be that these few people did a Google search and saw all the articles about layoffs without realizing the articles were years old. Or it might have been a single person who posted wrong information and it spread without any fact checking, which is a common scenario on social media websites.

You mean like their complete inability to come up with any fix for lag, other than lag for everyone?
CCP, trading shiny pictures for playability since 2003.. EvE, a cutting edge game. The only game to provide Matrix style gameplay for the masses! (trouble is, most people don't have 9 hours to waste on a one hour fight.) |

It's not like CCP is going to come out and say 'We laid off a bunch of people because our profit margin sucks'.
Unless your thread is limited to how 'awesum!' Eve Online is, ISD will lock the thread.-á You will find it is particularly common if CCP might have to make a public response to the thread subject, as opposed to bury it in the GM que for the forseeable future and then prohibit telling anyone what the GM said, if it's ever answered at all. |

I doubt they are dropping WOD due to the fact they are going to need a new game eventually... or an EVE 2.0 of sorts maybe with a different lore.
On a side note, if they are doing layoffs my thoughts go out to all the families. |

So a senior PR acknowledged, 15 devs have been laid off from the Atlanta office, right before Christmas.
Looks like when Reykjavik sneezes, Atlanta gets decimated... The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! |

Kind of reminds me of a job I used to work at where they up and laid off the entire housekeeping and landscaping departments (and then probably deported them). It even happened about this same time of the year and everyone agreed it was a **** move, but not to the boss's face of course. |

To be fair, I'm pretty sure timing of layoffs has more to do with calendar years and fiscal quarters than some silly sky fairy holiday. |
