While I sympathize with those who will lose their jobs, I applaud CCP for making the right decision.
I'd suggest taking it a bit further, and cancelling WoD, as I think CCP should focus 100% on the Eve Universe, but I can accept this realignment.
Still, CCP has been mostly talk and ass kissing so far. The return of ship spinning is a nice treat, but hopefully it is but a hint of good things to come.
The winter expansion will be make or break for CCP. |

People with bills to pay and mouths to feed and you weren't content to let things move forward, you just had to whine and cry until you forced CCP's hand.
Sad thing is I'm betting most of you don't even really care, you're just offering your condolences for show.
I am a social democrat. I believe everyone should be paid a fair wage, and enjoy job security.
But I don't pay CCP (3 accounts) to subsidize someone else's life. I pay my taxes to do that.
I pay CCP to enjoy a video game about flying space ships in space.
If CCP stops providing me enjoyment for my money, I stop giving them my money.
Fuck off with your bullshit about me costing real people real jobs because I cancelled 2 of my 3 accounts. |

No there is not.
Money = Resources. Resources = Money.
People and employees can be considered resources yes, but it requires money (salary/benefits) to keep them on a project.
Resources always equals money.
How do people in the thread not get that?

To CCP: thank you for making the though call. Focus is something I've been hoping for and I'm glad to see that you don't shy away (too much) from making the right decision, no matter how tough. I've felt for a while now that CCP was growing the employee base too quickly. Anyone else notice how very often the 'I support CCP in this!!!' posters are making their first post ever? CCP Alt damage control again?
I support CCP in this. I don't see why anyone who cares a shred about this game doesn't.
Would you rather we go back to CCP paying more people to develop WoD and DUST than Eve? |

By reducing the human resource you're not actually freeing up the resource that directly does work for the company, just the monetary resource.
Are you daft?
You lay people off. As you can see they are laying off people not directly involved with FiS (community staff, and WoD staff).
Use the reduced expenses to balance your budget. CCP needs to sort its **** to maintain profitability (or regain it).
You refocus on your key direction with the resources you have left, put out good **** (Winter Expansion).
If your customers are happy, and subs grow, you hire more staff to iterate on your ****.
SO YES THEY ARE FREEING UP THE RESOURCES THAT MATTER.

Only a minority of players use the forums. You'd rather CCP allocate resources to the minority of players rather than spend it on actual gameplay. GTFO. |
