They lost their jobs because CCP was being run buy fools drunk on ego.
Congrats are in fact in order for getting them to change direction and showing them they cannot just abuse us.
But we know that this latest move was ill thought out in some aspects.

Quote:mismanagement of the company and it's taken you, what, 8 years playing this shockingly mismanaged, horrible, failing game to work out that the SAME senior staff are running the company that you subbed for 8 years ago? And you call CCP management stupid?
You can drive drunk for 8 years never have an accident.
CCP was like that but then have accident after accident after accident in short order. |

As long as you're allowed to abuse THEM yeah? **** me.....I rarely get mad but you are REALLY starting to prove how fn stupid you really can be 
Telling them what product we want to buy is not abusing them.
Its how business works mate.
They are supposed to meet the demand. Not tell us what they want to sell us and we have to like it. |

sad but true this ^^^ Said similar earlier. "Eve is only a game". So how come the sheeplike actions of hotheads IN game cause such real reactions OUT of game. Must be a few Eve dicks feeling real proud right now... Look what "we" did.... woot.  Don't be ridiculous. Hilmar admitted it was mainly his fault in his devblog. This is all the result of what Hilmar (and whoever supported him in the company) did. The players just behaved rationally in a) expressing their displeasure at Hilmar's direction, and b) voting with their feet, in the only way he would understand (as he himself stated in the leaked email). You should feel ******* proud that you're playing in a game with other players who aren't such addicted twats that they'll swallow anything developers throw at them (which is what Hilmar expected, as implied in his leaked email).
Nail on head.

The truth is that Dust could fail, and if it does fail, will it bankrupt CCP? If CCP was developing WoD, Eve, and Dust at the same time, one of the projects nosediving could put the other 2 in serious jeopardy. I'm happy that CCP is now only (mainly) focusing on a single side project.
To be honest Methinks it will be to little to late. |

Apple have made a fortune from telling people what they want to sell and expecting people to like it, and they never lost their Jobs.. oh, wait, they did. 
Apple is not CCP
The apple fan base is not the CCP fan base. THANK GOD FOR THAT.
Comparing Apple to Internet Spaceships. |

More like Incarna was the final straw that broke the camels back after years of Customers holding their tongues and waiting patiently for CCP to improve and make it better.

Because the game was unplayable for weeks due to repeated crashes again. Oh wait, it wasn't. Because the introduction of the NeX store for vanity items was radically more detrimental to the game than the introduction of PLEX. Oh wait, it wasn't. The list goes on and on. While there were serious issues with Incarna's release, no denying it, those issue pale in comparison to past issues when looked at objectively and calmly. That's the problem, mobs don't tend to do that. Mobs are easily led by those with malicious intent who are willing to chant "we won't take it any more" long enough and loud enough (even when they laugh and tell you to your face that manipulating you is EXACTLY what they are doing). Go look carefully at some of the major threads generated at that time. If you are very, very patient you'll find exactly what I am referring to.
It burned out peoples cards dude. Thats pretty unplayable.
It made it so people could not use multiple clients, breaking one of the fundamental play styles of eve. That made it unplayable to a lot of people who run lots of alts. You know CCPs revenue comes from people willing to dump money in the game. Some even have 5 or more accounts.
Making people who have lower end hardware unable to play the game. There are lots of people out there that just cant afford to Upgrade right now. But can spend 15 or farm for plex to keep playing. Now they cant, more lost revenue.
NEX store was a slap in the face to NOT Putting MT into the game. It was a slap in the face of the sandbox to make a system that exists outside player control/influence/manufacture. Then it was a crime of stupidity to charge 3-4 or more plex for the limited selection of goods they offered in the store. I had thought one plex would have gotten me lots of random cheap goods or several outfits sets as per MOST OTHER SANE MT STORES I had as examples.
The list does indeed go on, to snide 1000 pants on head ****** dev posts, to Leaked emails showing they think their players are idiots and a newsletter that shows they were kicking around the concept of GOLDEN AMMO. The email shows that it was not just talk when you read that Fearless in hilmars own words WAS THE PLAN.
Please take your head out of whatever dark place you have it for your own benefit.
