As someone who has been around long enough and watched how CCP does things, this really isn't a surprise at all.

The people responsible for the WoD failure get to keep their jobs, and the people in "publishing" lose their jobs?. It's really surprising, when you consider who decided that would be the best course of action.

As are well all, I'm sure :( I'd be very very interested in what they have to say about the guardian article.
And I bitterly wonder who's going to write the apology now that it appears they've kicked out most of their fiction writers... |

They have laid off some really great people from CCP, yet the abysmal ones remain unsurprisingly. I'm going to safely assume that Mr Pssshhhh still works for CCP.

When I left a bs was 60 mil, a mindlink was 5 mil and a cruiser was 4 mil. It seems CCP have been artificially raising in-game prices to sell PLEX because they need to milk eve as much as possible for other projects. No this will not be the case (other than increasing costs of minerals when they rebalanced the ships so they are all useful) and CCP would want lower plex prices so people have to buy more plex to sell to get a certain amount of money....
Someone blogged recently about garage sales and most people failing at them. In short, people overprice items and get stuck with them, if however they would put a significant lower price tag on their items for sale they will sell a whole lot more.
CCP never will understand this, as shown by the pricing for customised ship hulls. No-one will buy them when they're going to be high cost frequent losses. Which is why vanity clothing items are indestructible.
As per usual CCP never learns. >.< |

Whenever a project fails the management should be the first to get the axe. It's their responsibility to make the project work, it's the sole reason they are even paid. If the project fails, it's their failure for one reason or another. They can't even blame the other staff for it because it's the management that hires and motivates the staff. Having those failures bounce from project to project, company to company and ******* one up after another seems to be epidemic in the games industry.

I think it may be safe to assume that the June Financials will be very bad. I'd also like apologies, or isk, from those you you who said I was off my rocker about how things were going at CCP.
A lot of you mocked me, but I think that this latest round of layoffs shows that I most likely nailed it on the head when I called it back in April. |

That might turn them around for the End of Year, assuming they find a buyer, but WoD isn't what it used to be, and even very profitable IPs don't always carry big pricetags, particularly if they know you're in trouble and can just wait to pick up the rights in bankruptcy for a song. It's what Sega did with THQ.
They bought Relics entire portfolio for 20m.
Fantasy Flight Games, of the currently alive TT game companies, would be my bet, and frankly their bid would be low. |

Just signing in to say that I'm disappointed with this news, I'm sad to see these guys go, I wish them all the very best of luck.
CCP, you need to get your **** together. I love the devs and their interaction with us both through the game itself, forums, and the likes of fanfest, I don't want to see anything to happen to them, however the management seems to need a shake down from the top.. Especially the top.
I would rather have CCP keep their employees than see further development on dust and the like, at least until their management starts earning its keep. |
