I never like to see people lose their jobs and the tweets are beginning to show that not all of them are WoD.
To those who are going and have helped make the game the addictive thing it is, to those who are staying and wondering if this is the cuts or just the first wave . . .
thank you

To CCP, I extend my wishes to all of you who were laid off during one of the most difficult times in the world's history. With many countries suffering economic problems even here in the US, time will get better in the future. Godspeed to those we really loved and respected, even when we didn't agree on some things.
As far as refocusing on Eve is concerned I will wait till the winter release before I return to see what happens. I been following the forums recently and quite shocked at whats been going on, all I can say is best of luck to all for the future of Eve and CCP. |

I'm reading this and laughing so hard my gf rushed into the room asking whats going on, because I said the exact same thing to CCP Sr leadership and warned them this would happen, to the peoples faces at the Atlanta office, about a year or so ago when I was brought in by very sr. people at CCP for some very frank and brutal discussions.
Why I was there is not important.... but now they are admitting publicly that I was right, that they were wrong, that they should have listened to me. Imagine what CCP would be like today if they had agreed to my terms so I would have let them hire me?
Maybe with this wake-up call, CCP leadership can be a little less out of touch. They still cant afford me tho.

I don't understand how firing people will make things better. Doesn't that mean less resources available for the important things? The art people from WoD could do art for Eve, any software guys could start working with the Carbon technology in a production environment, the sound guys could do some cool stuff, etc., etc. Really a shame to see anyone at all lose their jobs. Was the monetary blow from lost subs that severe? It's not you guys who need to repair what has been broken, it's us. CCP Wrangler |

It means more money to work on things they they need to get done. Less employees means less expenses in the long term, and that's important because their budget and balance sheet looks like crap and they have some big debts they are trying to restructure. |

Not at all. I was worth more., clearly, because I was right.
EDIT: And worth even more because I actually said something long enough in advance that they would have been able to do something about it.
EDIT: Just think.. all these people could have kept their jobs if somebody had listened to me at CCP. |

IceGuerilla wrote:Thank you, Jita protests. I'm glad that firing torpedoes at a statue got some real people with real livelihoods fired...
IMO, the statue protests were an effect, not a cause. The cause was, fundamentally, the lack of continuity when docking (i.e. dropping the "I'm docked in my ship" view), and poor communication regarding pay to win (Fearless etc.).
Still a little way to go in my opinion. I'm currently sat in my Slicer while docked in Empire and I can't for the life of me find the way out of my ship and into my quarters. It seems that in order to leave my ship I have to escape this reality, enable an alternative timeline, undock and then redock. Way better than before but still lacking integrity. Perhaps a simple fix would be to provide two docking options "Dock to loading bay", and "dock to accommodation". Or something like that. |

Keep your subs going, get your friends into the game and bring life back to it. Once we get more people back into game, CCP can rehire many of the ones they let go.
BUT TO DO THIS they will need the support of the entire community, hell maybe even buy a plex and get something from the store. ehm no... even if 1 plex would save one job, i am not going to use this ****, that startet all this. sounds harsh, but thats life. good people will find jobs pretty easy, bad people won't and it's good eve got rid of them.. sounds harsh too, yeah but thats life.
I know a lot of good people without jobs.

Farewell CCP
It's been an interesting time but this is where we part ways. I subscribed to EVE Online when I heard you were developing an MMO for WoD, both to play in your sandbox and support VtM. What I've seen, I've enjoyed. Even monoclegate. If losing subscribers is the only thing you will listen to, I am closing my accounts.
Sincerely, Mulengro Regent - Lloydminster Chantry House & Clan Tremere
P.S. - See you "soon" - when work on WoD is complete |

At least the lay offs were mostly isolated to the Americans. Let us be honest; when it comes to lazy and ungrateful about their jobs, no one else comes close to the Americans.

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.
This, tbqfh.
You set a standard with that, that has since been unsurpassed, which (in my opinion) is something to always strive for. |

Not everyone who worked at the Atlanta office where American. You know CCP being a global company and all, they do relocate staff.

Really bad troll. I feel solidarity with my fellow man as tough times are mounting in all corners of the globe. US or Italy it is a shame when arogance on a pandemic level is allowed to go unchecked like it is in todays climate. |
