And just look at all the deep industry insider information we're getting in this thread. EA... Riot... you guys should start your own version of People magazine, only instead of celebrities and politicians, you could fill it with articles about people no one gives a **** about. I predict great success. I care more about random devs than random celebs going in and out of drug rehab :P
Let's all read themittanidotcom articles about it.

I said devs are leaving at a faster and faster rate, as shown by the numbers.
Lots of high profile devs leaving in the last 6 months.
Do you have the numbers for all people leaving CCP since it opened, in order to make that statement?
"Lots of high profile devs" = "The devs I have heard of"

Hint from someone with 17 years of software development industry, including 4 at PC games.
The most important develoeprs are NEVER knowsn to the public (except if they are the founders of the company).
Public relations and marketign people are important, but they are NEVER core on a software company.

I wouldn't say that 3-4 people going from one large game company to another large game company is all that exciting. I'm actually quite impressed at the time some of those people stayed at CCP considering Eve has been dying since 2003.
/shrug
On a slightly more serious note: I guess you could say that the "brain drain" is sufficient to offset their other awesome recent hires, but I'd say that there just isn't enough information to make a statement like that. Games aren't made or maintained by one guy, no matter how important. It's a team effort, and they've still got a lot of really awesome talent like Veritas, Mastermind, Erlendur, PrismX, Unifex, Punkturis, Karkur, Torfi, and so many more.
Sure, Soundwave and Navigator leaving will hurt. But kill the game? No. It's much too early for statements like that.

That is HIGHLY questionable. After all SOMER-gate and some questionable decisions I am not sure that these devs leaving is so bad...
Eve could use a change - the current direction is going in circles. |

*Tinfoilhat Mode*
The current "direction" is on maternity leave, IIRC.
Which is fine, but since the previous owner of that job description is one of the people who left for "Riot", well...

People seem to think whatever game they're playing at the moment belongs to them, as do the people who develop and promote said game. Our troll OP has resurrected a very old and successful trolling format here, which leverages our desire for the status quo to never change. People are individuals, dude. The change jobs. They go elsewhere. No one is going to be CCP Whatever for the rest of their lives.
Wrong.
That's like saying if chribba stopped playing EVE he wouldn't be chribba anymore.
CCP or no CCP, Zulu will always be Zulu, Guard will always be Guard, we love them, love to hate them, and they will never escape their past, :) |

That's all well and good, but at the end of the day, the job was the job. Their CCP names and responsabilities neither define them as people nor preclude them as developers from the same changes in career paths that we all encounter. |
