Quote:Ned "CCP Manifest" Coker was able to validate claims of Greyscale's departure in an email to TMC: "We can confirm Matt is no longer with the company." The nature of Woodward's departure from CCP is unknown at this time. |

i liked greyscale and his willingness to spend his time talking on the forum
even if he was a bit of a dope sometimes (cruise missiles)
the mittani article's comments features silly people being angry about their jumpdrives |

And we care why?
Honestly I will never understand why people follow ccp devs around like rockstars or sports team members. People leave and join companies all the time. If the company is run well its not a huge loss, as ideas and such are kept within a team. Why we track every movement I have no idea.

He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum. Hated one month and loved the next.
One thing no one can deny though. He had a passion for the game and will be missed.

He made some good changes, while I agree they are not rockstars, Devs with a good vision is a good thing.

meh, that has to do with him being there for 7 years. Other people will come and thre are many others who have been there longer.
I just wonder why we as players care this much. Sure we have devs we like, I personally liked TomB, Ovur, and the good Dr. But when they left I just shrugged it off. The company moves on. Though I think TomB is still at ccp but meh.
Point is, I find these post funny. Esp when comments like "omg riot/ea/whatever is taking over ccp!" No, its a natural business cycle. We just have no idea how many devs are replaced and by who.. but honestly as long as eve is up and we can play it I have to ask.. we care why?
Edit: though its prolly CCP's relationship with us that we care. I don't know if WoW players post threads everytime a WoW dev leaves. But who knows, maybe i'm wrong

I can't say that I'm going to miss the person who completely screwed up Crimewatch. Greyscale was in large part responsible for many decisions that, how should I say this, "simplified" the game."
I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

i have no idea which people were responsible for certificates, or whose project it was, but i remember greyscale is given credit and he happened to write the devblog
i like certificates, i used the system a lot when starting out. helped me with early skill planning and with identifying important skills |

No, his team was. He might of been head, or had the basic idea but with out without him the work should continue as scheduled in the way it was chosen. This is how things work. A new team head might tweek or change the vision, but usually once a project is approved a certin way the work keeps going no matter who is there.
Now if CCP Seagull left then yea things would prolly change, but the point of a working group is to have everyone who is going to touch stuff lay out exactly what they are planning. And you still follow the roadmap. So as I said, rockstar status.

Probably won't be critical but you can't change a team lead and expect no effect, especially if the work is complicated.

I am thankful that CCP either let him go or he left of his own will. CCP Greyscale had a vision for Eve that simply wasn't in the interest of "Fun", which was apparent by his repeated development decisions.
My faith in CCP just skyrocketed- rolling back an incomplete feature (teams), some new awesome quality of life changes, and no more of Greyscale's "extreme" input. The future of Eve is looking great. |

So he introduces the mechanic that encourages Eve players to play more LoL (+Chivalry etc..)
Then leaves for Riot
Greyscale was a true Eve player, he played our game of secrecy and scheming to perfection! Sure he didn't take assets (probably ) but he took the playtime with him.

that he still roams,
waiting for overzealous hotdroppers to say his name three times by a lit cyno to induce maximum fatigue . . . . . BOOOO!"
