attn: laid off ccp people.

if you want to get an entry level network security job we are hiring and i can train you. deals mostly with malware and attacks. if you are good at it i can probably get you a job within a few months and i can get a sweet ass referral bonus. no experience needed but passion about security a must.

not joking btw. PM me.

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.

Somebody pinch me.

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.

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.

Now that the Atlanta employees are no longer having to work on WoD, can they be re-tasked for Incarna?

tl;dr Monocles failed so we're firing people because our wallets are thin. We're doing ~things~ for spaceships again, because if we lose more subscribers we'll die.

Good news everyone! Bad news for vampires though.

about who is interested in dust 514

I have the awful feeling that the main rationale for not putting WoD completely on ice might very well be to avoid depreciating the WoD-related code assets faster than CCP's balance sheet could bear.

When so much of your assets are just frozen man-hours (which hopefully exist in the form of code, art, ...) having to give up on a large project could result in some pretty bad corrections to equity.

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.

I hope that the person or persons that blindly led the company into a bad state are shipped out the door along with the poor SOB's that are going to be searching for work tomorrow through no fault of their own.
