Get rid of some of the executives.
What value for money and for CCP can they provide given their obvious failures?

I just can't believe this, as the NEX store with the monocle was introduced a single forum thread was filled within hours by hunderts of posts from different people just raging, but now, as it is something that is really really serious noone cares, are you all just out of your minds?!
A game Company having trouble will never ever tell its community that is is in trouble, that is simple Business psychology. But these are some serious signs that something in the background is not going well. It is a shame that this one so encouraged community is now, as it is a point of matter is just doing nothing than watching! EVE FOREVER, that now just sounds like a joke, with a community that cares more about not to pay something in addition, instead of fighting for its so loved game.
And just for knowing, I payed 15Gé¼ just to post this, because my Job in a gaming company with three online f2p game does not give my much of sparetime for EVE. I still can't believe this. |

Happen to notice that nothing was ever announced about Somergate? After asking the critics to give them time CCP walked away. I guess the fiction department was a bit too busy that day.

And they sent poor CCP Guard out to us to try and placate the situation but he got chewed up and spit out. I can only imagine that Guard tried to tell his superiors about how upset the player base was about it and they just blew him off like they did us.
Guard seems like decent guy. Wonder how long till he leaves CCP :'( Not today spaghetti. |

I was wondering about him the other day. Hasn't been in one of the "what's coming" vid's in a while. Those vid's - that's EVE lore.

"...layoff of 49 people in our publishing organization..." - I wonder if the overall lack of strong sales towards the Collector's Edition hurt this group too since you do not promote something and within months slash the price down a third.
I guess this will mean no more hard cover books based on the Eve universe either.
Good luck to those affected. |

Is it time to shoot the monument yet ?
Yes, I refer to the ingame monument outside Jita 4-4... and it's a sign of the times I feel the need to err on the side of caution and make the distinction versus the RL monument.

Good to see Upper Management unchanged for a long time now!
Keep up the....good work! I hope everyone voted in the CSM elections! Thank you to those who actually supported my campaign! Even if I don't get elected in, I hope that the CSM that do, and Devs actually use my ideas somewhere! |

The thread in question was filled, not so much with the NEX and monocles, but with this very issue. People have already expended their care quota and are most likely not entirely surprised.

Especially considering the allegedly ghost-written "Sincere apology" Even if this is, admittedly, a one-sided article since no one from CCP mgmt decided to reply to The Guardian, it is a pretty disheartening thing to read. At the time I thought "Wow - he can write". But the nagging suspicion was there. Should have known better - CEO's do nothing on their own.
First thing my GF said, what CEO writes their own press releases...very few. |

TMC reports that also CCP Xhagen and CCP Loxy are gone.
Unless I'm wrong, CCP fired 19 developers in december, 56 in april, and now 49. That's a good bunch of people.

Management should come from the ground floor. Huge companies always seem to end up with these monumental managers who, being so insulated from what it actually takes to get the work done, make terrible misinformed decisions. Marketing departments also need to ask developers about their visions, not push their own agendas based on what they think will safely work. Otherwise the creativity will stagnate, developers will become disillusioned and uninspired and business will suffer. If you like any of the older ship models (original artwork) better than the redesign of your favorite hull and don't want them to be lost forever, support ship customization and this feature request. |

It's pretty clear, from that article and reviews of the company by ex-employees, that the management is terrible and responsible for a lot of CCP's struggles. Unfortunately, I think clueless management might drag CCP to an early grave.
The old saying "Eve succeeded despite CCP, not because of them" rings more true today than ever. |

That is about 1/5 off the overall employees... But nooooo of course EVE will not be affected....[Sarcasm] I really was believing in CCP having something different than other companies. PLEX, NEX, Collectors Editions that all sympthoms of the same problem that already began years ago. CCP was once almost down, but they got back up.
EVE is 10 Years older than Star Citizien, it is indeed already online, but still can not get enough cash from the players? Is the SC community bigger, stronger or giving more? Is RSI lieing about the cash, or is there again a myserious Investment in the background?
Monthly payment for playing alone is not enough to keep it up, so PLEX came, but still it is not enough and than NEX came and also the Rebellion. 10 years of great big game and unique universe, so isn't EVE worth it?
All are talking so big that something was done wrong, that it would have to be done different in the past, but what the hell, do you all have running game companies for more than 10 years, without mistakes? Anyone, please step forward.
It is not just CCP that is having problems it is the whole industrie, but EVE should be ahead of this problems and show solutions. Like the CSM there has to be something unique a bond and contract between company and community. None of them can stand alone. We like the game we want to play it, so than we as community should also give them the founding to run the game, and develop it. In fact we have the CSM so why isn't there already planing and discussion about how to keep on? |

Oh my ******* god, you people. Stop acting like this is the first time a software company has ever done this.
I don't even work in the industry (yet) and I know full well to expect this kind of thing from pretty much anywhere I'd go. Nothing about the linked article surprises me either. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron
