Launching an broken product that disrupts their clients usage of a product they pay for, seems like grounds for someone to be fired.
so who is getting fired? |

Lucky i have remote snapshots of my machine and could fix that easily =)
I am good with a 12 hour fix cycle but telling me to patch and repair over and over again is not a soultion to this problem i have tired it 20 times
love this screen, admit your mistake ccp fix it and stop trying to pass the buck. if you cant figure it out GO back to the old launcher.

Yeah come on guys, CCP go to a lot of thankless effort to produce this free game for us to enjoy.
Wait no, we pay for the damn thing. And despite half the damn customer base having the *same* issues for hours and hours since the roll out, I log in just now and the launcher quietly screws up my game. Why on earth wouldn't they even have the common sense to pull the damn update from happening? No mail to warn people. No status updates. No ETA on them doing any more than sitting on their ass.

According to CCP, this isn't a code issue, but a load issue on the servers that run the launcher. Kinda corpspeek for possibile DDOS.
Keep that in mind when you're advocating people losing their job, OP.
As for your Wal-Mart quote...amusingly enough, I did just that. Worked for the Big W after I left the service, managed to blow a main breaker box plugging in a floor buffing machine. Store closed for 27 hours before they got it all fixed.
No, I didn't get fired. Accidents happen.

One does not fire for simple human mistakes. In soft & hardware tech errors happen on a daily basis, most go unnoticed, a few don't. A honorable mention on an ingame item should be enough. |

First no one is getting fired because they get your money anyway.
It's not like shutting down a store and losing sales.
They own you and you both know it.
Second thing is people who get fired from other companies come to CCP.
It's not the other way around.
Have you not read how much less they pay their employees compared to other developers?
The employees work at CCP for the love of EVE not to actually make any money.
If you really want to get someone fired you'll have to start by cancelling your accounts. |

Not everyone in the world has the Donald Trump model of society.
They should all go drink some beers after this is fixed.
1) Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
2) From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called GÇ£binGÇ¥ and there you will find the ExeFile.exe
3) Run this ExeFile.exe to start the EVE Online client |

The approved punishment for a crap launch is to haul all involved parties into a lengthy series of "Lessons Learned" meetings, followed by SOP update training.
By the time they're done, several people will be thinking that 'being fired' was less painful.
Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Employees are a valuable resource to a company. Only a adolescent who doesn't understand how much time and effort it takes to develop an employee would suggest firing someone for a simple mistake. |

Training replacements is a pain in the ass. And no matter how good a new hire is, it'll take them weeks to settle in properly.
It also /destroys/ company morale.

2 fallacies here.
The first one is to assume CCP is able to update the launcher without crashing it. If CCP knew how to code, we'd have noticed already.
The second is to assume that firing someone for ******* up is a rational and normal decision. It's not. It would result in a lot more costs through finding and training someone to replace whoever ****** up. |
