EVE General Discussion

this ^

and I will like to quote Mr. Donald Trump

"is nothing personal is just business"

I sincerely hope the best for the ones leaving

I'm actually glad to hear that,

a company need to get fresh blood and get rid of all the hot air, sometimes.
with the rate CCP grew, i am sure there were people employed who were just good at talking and making promises.

Yeah it is bad for the affected people, but i am also sure it is worth it.

Resubbing accounts and adding another soon

gotta agree here. It wasnt the ppl's faults who are getting the axe that caused Hilmar to be all "See what they do not what they say"

Best of luck to both those now looking elsewhere and to those at CCP working on making their goals a reality.

If CCP made a statement that if X amount of people resubbed their accounts, people's jobs would be saved. I would resub several of mine.

Agreed

CCP needs management that doesn't cower in fear of a few whiners threatening to quit.

Management that won't change direction every two weeks to try and suck up to a few entitled forum brats.

Mr Epeen

My best wishes to anyone I've ever met out there affected by this, and good luck to you if you are still waiting to hear news. I'm very much saddened to hear that things have come to this and hope that you all come back from this quickly and strongly.

To all those remaining at CCP, know that the community does hope that good things emerge from all this and that you will soon be joined by new or even returning colleagues as CCP and EVE returns to a stronger and surer footing.

I am very sorry to hear of job losses. That is not fun in the least.

However, I do have to say that sadly this is what happens when employees flat out ignore issues that effect the player base.

You ignored the players on Incarna and as a result thousands of paying accounts lapsed.

You continue to ignore AFK Cloaking and more than a few accounts have given up over that. Same with other issues that drive people out of nullsec and allow the big alliances to accumulate and hold great power allowing them to be very picky on who they allow into the club.

I would personally like to run 3-4 accounts. However, I am not going to do it when concerns don't even get a dev response even after topic after topic.

Show me what you will DO about these issues or atleast what the view of the DEV team is. And then ACT on them. And maybe JUST maybe the playerbase will be happy to increase sub count and allow you to do the rehires to make your World of Darkness game.

While it's important to feel solidarity with those who loose their jobs, it's vastly more important to get Eve back on the right track. Eve is after all the only real product CCP has. Unless your blizzard, and have vast sums of money, or are willing to leverage yourself into a potentially compromising position (which CCP may have already done), a serious shift in focus will mean cuts and re-purposing. So hearing that that is specifically what CCP plans on doing is in my opinion very good to hear.

It's important to note that CCP is raising the stakes here, it's hugely important that the coming expansions, improve the game significantly. I'm not in a position to judge CCP on who should be kept or let go, I'm just looking for results. I think that's the bottom line for most people.
