Does this mean Riot Games pay better than CCP?

The more switch over, the more I think there's goon style infiltration going on. In a few years, executive levels will be infiltrated and suddenly Riot will merge with CCP. |

Riot games is backed by a Chinese holding company with deep enough pockets to buy countries.
It's no surprise that they can poach whoever they want from smaller guys like CCP. |

Either 15-20 CCP employees have moved to Riot Games, or I've seen this same thread at least 6 times in the last 9 months. |

CM's are basically forum moderator's no? It seems like it is probably a miserable job dealing with trolls and spam all day long and I'm going to bet it pays pretty poorly.
Though I can't imagine going from this community to the LoL community is a step up. |

When you lament the transition of CCP employees and actually follow them around, then you are losing touch with reality.
EVE is a GAME.
"CCP (enter name here)" is an employee.
There is life outside of EVE but it seems for many, EVE is your life. That is not healthy. Minimizing the cost of replacing implants.

The only thing that should be surprising is how long people stay at CCP. Programmers change jobs, a lot. Before I started working for myself I changed jobs every 2 years. Sometimes for money and sometimes just for something new. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose. |

Definitely, that would be epic, and in true EVE style.

prolly just means Riot's development process isn't as archaic as CCP's process

EVE is heading towards its twilight years, probably isn't as exciting to work @ CCP on the EVE project. Nothing surprising.
Doesn't take much to poach, LoL is pretty lucrative ( http://www.gamespot.com/articles/league-of-legends-revenues-for-2013-total-624-million-update/1100-6417224/ ). The revenue difference is massive and LoL isn't even on top the ARPPU list for F2P MMOs. More money to spend on development luxuries, more excitement. I sometimes wonder if CCP ought to explore spawning off easy to play, short F2P MMO other than EVE (no, DUST doesn't really qualify as one). We shall see.
P.S. The ship painting/Aurum initiative is a logical step towards increasing revenue, but they're attempting to draw water from a well. Not a river or lake. Spend too much time and focus on it, they may lose the big picture.

Well lets see, they have valkariye, which could be a smash hit, depending on how well its made and what business model they use , i.e. pay $60 up front and buy expantions. 2) comes free with a rift and is free to play with micro transactions. 3) its subscription. So there is a quick rev boost if its good. You also have World of Darkness in development hell, which if that ever gets out could provide a good cash cow. And you have the mobile division, which if they start dropping cheap $1-$10 mobile games and apps could bring in cash. CCP is expanding past eve, and there are a lot of things coming that could bring it a nice chunk of cash. OFC these also could flop and cost ccp a ton of money. |

I do not understand why people care where a dev goes. I miss CCP Ovuer but he's been gone for a while, and we know that TomB is still around as he said hi in a post a few months ago. CCP is a company, people get better offers to jump ship, they get bored with there jobs no matter how fun, or have a life event that makes them have to move on. Just because a few guys go to company X doesn't mean much. It usually means that person 1 went to company x, and at a later date person 2 asked person 1 to toss in a good word for them to get a job. This is normal, and people jump ship and move on all the time. Sometimes they even get bored at the new company and come back (as long as company 1 did not fire them)
So I would say this is not anything to worry about. I'm sure you have a ton of turn over in blizzard, and EA and other big companies.
Its like when people go 'OMG CCP HIRED AN EA GUY WE ARE DOOMED!" No, they hired a guy, who used to work for EA. And even if that guy still holds a job at EA (this happens a lot oddly on Boards of Directors) doesn't really mean much either. You hire people for various reasons, and people leave for the same. its sad to see some of the better and more liked dev's go, but its life. |
