Ahh... well... this does explain why my thread in GD a couple weeks ago got locked so quickly... You guys already knew layoffs were on the way.
Also, I'm glad my thoughts on refocusing the Atlanta team was also put into effect, as WoD is not as time-critical as getting DUST out.

Good news everyone! Bad news for vampires though.
It is clearly not just about monocles failing... CCP went through a huge growth spurt, and had never laid off anyone.
And that is just not healthy for a company, as not every person you hire turns out to be a good fit. In the same way that a garden needs constant tending, so does your company's workforce. So you lay off some people (and possibly hire new promising new people).
Sure it's sad for the individual, but spaceships is serious business.

about who is interested in dust 514
i even didnt have playstation 3 and i wont buy it to play dust 514
DUST is one of the better ideas CCP has had, and it seems that the execution will also be good. It really makes me feel more confident in the future of EVE that they've decided to postpone WoD, as that we clearly too much at once.

Go cry in a river of bitter, the PS3 platform is more than good enough. XBox was never an option, and PC FPS does not mix with console.
As a game to satisfy _YOUR_ personal preferences, it might suck ass. For a game that gets lots of players, it might suck a lot of ****.
