Today it was my solemn duty to post an announcement from CCP. You can read that announcement here.
Please keep your discussion of the announcement to this thread if possible, and understand that this and the days in the future are going to be very difficult for those at CCP. We stand behind our decisions and trust that it will ultimately bring you, the EVE community, a better game.

 No content? Troll???
Edit: After reading the link in the updated post, I wish everybody at CCP the best. Your management should have seen this comming, but still, unemployment is the last thing I wish for anyone.

My sympathies to the staff you are losing in Atlanta. However, I believe that you have taken the right decision for the longer term. Hard choices are best made before they get even harder.
Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

wrong answer... Dust 514 moves forward... WoD moves forward with a smaller staff.
Good move CCP, focus on the game that made your company!
My condolences to those who are receiving pink slips as part of this. |

WoD is still in pre-production stage so you cant even call it "stopped".
Well I hope someday at leas my children will play WoD because I will be more like old fart in 2015+
Besides companies like Lizzard and Bethesda will totally ruin MMO market and genre untill that moment.

The reasons are valid I think.
A bit sad that it will take WoD even longer to get out but atleast it will still get worked on and that's much better then it being cancelled.
And sad to hear about the people being fired. Hopefully they will be picked up by another studio. |

Best decission ever.
But Dust and WoD are failures from the beginning anyway, so just stop the crap. |

Here's hoping that any and all employment challenged CCPers find a job quickly and without too much hardship on themselves and their family.
Good luck.

I'm waiting on the winter expansion to re-sub my other two accounts, but to me, this is good news/bad news.
Good news for Eve, bad news for those affected. I wish *all* CCP employees the best.

I hope that the people losing their jobs in this difficult economic climate are able to rebound quickly.
Although as an EVE player I am happy to see CCP focus, it is still a difficult thing to see people lose their jobs. |

Sorry to the employees laid off from the WOD team in the states (particularly in this economic climate) but I do believe its a neccessary step and vital to ensure CCP has the resources to concentrate on and renew Eve Online as its core game. This announcement is almost more significant than the Hilmar apology to signalling a full return to priority focus on Eve Online.
Follow it up by announcing plans to ditch the NeX store and provide all In Space AND Incarna content through traditional sandbox economics rather than MT money-grubbing and I will be fully satisfied and celebrate by resubbing for a year on my account.

Wise decision. It was getting pretty clear that you were streched too thin but it is of course a shame you have to lay off people.
Do not worry too much about losing subscribers; EVE was not bad at all when there where only 20000 peeps around.

I must say I am pleased.
Something that makes sense perfectly for a management point of view. Leave the part the integrated with you money making machine which is EVE put crap that is in concept stage on the back burner and try to finish DUST / EVE integration.
Only if they would see the light and release the DUST as PC version as well [I know not going to happen].
I am still under the impression that consoles are not a good vehicle for steady games.
But good choice for the company and for EVE grats.
To the folks that worked on WOD well tough luck sorry but that happens in game industry all the time. |

First off, I hope this thread can retain a reasonable amount of civility. These cuts mean that real people are losing their jobs, and this is not something to joke about or make light of.
I'm sure it's a very sad day at CCP, and I feel bad for that.
Of course, one's immediate reaction upon reading the article is that (1) CCP is in financial trouble and that (2) WOD is dead, but the last paragraph diligently attempts to mitigate those worries.
Nevertheless, the worries remain.
Selfishly, as an EVE player, I'm happy to hear about the re-commitment to core EVE development (for obvious reasons).
But I do seriously feel bad for those many people losing their jobs today. |

Hoping this means more expansions that felt like Apocrypha felt.
You guys should take note, as that was literally the best content you have ever added to this game, and we miss you doing things like that.
Sorry to the guys in the US that lost their jobs, I know it'll be hardest for those to find new work. |

I feel bad for the people that lost their jobs, but this should've happened a couple years ago. Just because you're good at one thing doesn't mean you will be at another thing. The best bet is to perfect what you're good at and the rest will take care of itself.
Stick to making eve great. You're good at that. Making fps's and vampire games.... not so much. |
