YAY we WON!!
Kidding....
Well I am stoked to read about them taking the steps and this latest bit realy puts that effort in stone from my point of view. I am however NOT happy about job loss in anyway.
Good job CCP for making the hard choice, sad it had to come to this but your ability to adapt is a strong one and a valuable asset.
Truely sad that some people whom had a job are now filled with that nasty uncertain....GL to you guys and I hope you find some kickbutt jobs =)

Love to all those at CCP. I'm glad to see this refocus, and I'm looking forward to seeing Incarna and WoD when the time is right.
To all those who lost their jobs, I'm sorry for the hardship you may have to go through, and I wish you all the best. |

Sorry about the lost jobs, CCP.
It's clear that CCP wanted to exapand their horizons, and that's always something that should be aimed for in life and business, as long as it doesn't ruin what came before it. |

It's too easy jump in here and say something witty or mean, so instead I'm gonna say that it's sad for those who will be unemployed. But on the other hand sounds like a good idea for CCP and the EVE universe. Features & Ideas Discussion: Agent Finder, Black Holes Needs a banner here.. |

CCP,
It is never an easy decision to have to retrench people, I hope those directly affected find themselves new employment before their notice period is done.
Peace out.

now THAT is cool!

Those that were laid off have my sympathies, as well as those remaining in CCP that had to see friends go. Still, it makes sense when you have three big projects and not enough ressources, to put one aside in order to accelerate the gestation of the second one. Once that's done, you can restart the third with a vengeance. |

Good luck to any CCP employees laid off, but a word to the wise: if you're going to make an announcement like that to the player base, try not to make it sound like you're blaming the player base, even if you are. |

First, and most importantly, I hope that those losing their job are treated with respect and provided with a reasonable severance package. Good luck to those folks and remember: companies are still hiring despite all of the doom and gloom in the news.
Next: CCP better address the mental well-being of its own employees after such a large layoff. ~125 people removed from an organization takes its toll on the remaining "survivors." This is critical to maintaining good morale and momentum on current projects.
Lastly, this was one of a handful of obvious moves by CCP. It was clear towards the end of the summer that CCP was having problems executing and possibly with subscription numbers. That 13-PLEX "deal" cash grab was icing on the cake. 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284 Characters 284286 |

I love this game (Eve online). This is the only game I play, and I will continue to play it until they turn off the lights.
I support CCP and their efforts to re-focus. My sympathies go out to those who will lose their jobs.
Sincerely, Snape

It appears that you still believe this. Oh well.
My suggestion? Forget the Winter expansion and fix the problems that the last few updates have caused. Er, the Winter expansion is exactly about fixing problems. If it's an 'expansion', it isn't about fixing anything. It's kind of in the definition of the term.
OK, the Winter "expansion" is exactly about fixing problems.
I don't care what they call it as long as those problems are fixed. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

CCP, I just want to say that I appreciate the honesty and willingness to not only admit your mistakes but work to correct them. Makes me feel a lot better about subscribing when you will listen to your players and publically change your course to give us what we want. |

Though I am looking forward to WoD and Dust, I'm glad to see CCP focusing their efforts. I'm especially happy to see CCP no longer killing their golden goose, as I'm particularly fond of it. Layoffs are always unpleasant and I wish all those involved (from management, to those losing jobs, to those having increased work load) the best. |

I just wanted to take a moment like other have done, to send my sympathy and regards to those who are being laid off as a result of these changes. I'm also sorry that other players have reacted to this with more gross disrespect - "Is this a troll?" "lack of content" and other shameful comments. There's a time to be silly, and a time to be mature.
I think we all agree EvE is a game, and its here for everyone to have fun with, and there's a certain amount of flaming back and forth that's normal for forum banter. But when something solemn like this that will no doubt impact the lives of many people, and bring hardship for their families, I think the EvE community could do itself a favor and respond with some grace and recognition that THIS is the serious bizness, not the spaceships themselves.
Much of the "WoD sux, can it" feedback is rooted in nothing more than simple nerd bigotry, where spaceship > vampires>orcs in some kind or arbitrary coolness scale. Same with Dust 514, where the PC nerds seem to think they are somehow superior over gamers who enjoy shooting each other in the face on consoles. Its all the same to me in the end, whether you enjoy playing a starship captain, or playing a sexy vampire.
I hope CCP hears and understands that there are many of us who still believe strongly in the company, its vision, and its commitment to developing experimental games, and embracing the risk of failure. It takes balls to go against the grain, and try something new, especially with a rabid fan base ready to rip you in pieces if you don't deliver exactly what they demand or expect. You have earned my respect BECAUSE you fail sometimes, instead of delivering "safe bets" that compete on the market but do nothing to push the boundaries of what is possible in a gaming world.
Remember CCP - you are a team of creative artists and designers, not just a company. And just as any talented artist, architect, or musician succeeds the most when they pursue their own gut instinct over popular opinion, I encourage you to stick to your long-term vision as well. You've earned the right to develop other projects, pursue new ideas, and deliver content on more platforms, even if its not as economically viable during these hard times. Dont let us, the EvE community, put you in a corner. Gamers of EVERY variety will be well served by the ideas, concepts, and technologies CCP has envisioned and produced, and I look forward to the days ahead.

Good luck to those who are finding themselves in an unenviable position at this moment in time, I hope your passion for the gaming industry remains strong and your talents get you noticed and picked up elsewhere quickly. Thank you all for your contributions to my gaming experience.
On a positive note, I'm glad CCP is taking a more focused direction in the future, while I wish this could have come about without members of staff losing their jobs, the fact that the company is willing to make tough decisions to improve the quality of it's product is assuring as a customer. |

To each and every person who whined their way through the last few months, congratulations. You got your pixels, database entries and pretend warfare. Real people lost jobs. There was nothing so wrong with the game that it should have meant taking real food off the real tables of real people. It is my sincere hope that you too find yourself in the unemployment line. |

Obviously no guarantees, and there's still a rigorous interview process and a development test. And to be honest, Development and high-level System Administration are a couple of areas that are still economically strong. But, I figured if I can at least help get someone an interview, it's something I want to do.
Edit: damnit, missed my chance to snipe the top of the page =(.
I also tweeted about it. Pass the word on #tweetfleet if you can. |
