I was wondering how many people are employed by CCP including any/all subsidiaries (White Wolf publishing, etc..)?

Every time I've heard it come up, It's presented as 600+ employees. Does anyone have a current source for the number of Employees?

1st Type "how many Employees CCP" in Google.
2nd Find the wikipedia article.
3rd read the figures under "Demographics"
4rd profit!

It's not total accurate and some years old, but maybe google can find you some more interesting links?

I've already been through all of that.

The most recent measure I've come across is http://youtu.be/vxC8vX2zAgY?t=4m16s where they state that during a January 2013 playtest among CCP employees, they had 3360 kills in World of Darkness and comment that that's about 5 kills per employee.

3360/5 = 672 ( I doubt this is an accurate number, but puts it well over 600 Employees)

That's the closest I've come to a "recent" count.

Doubtful, but it's the best place to start from and it provides references for you.

Being employed and working is not the same thing. I'm employed but try to work as little as possible...

Do you mean CCP, or the null sec cartels?

Maybe you should stop drinking yourself into a stupor, then, since that's what's causing all the blurriness.
It might also clear up that delirium you're having that makes you imagine cartels around every corner…

OH LOOK! A big number labelled "loss" it obviously means the company is doing horribly despite my ignorance to how money in businesses actually works I should go and tell everyone that CCP is dying because everything they do is obviously bad!

Welp, This devolved into "Everything to ever exist is miserable and bad, and despite the fact I can't do any better I should really criticize it all and shout conspiracy every chance I get because my mother didn't love me enough. P.S. Every administrative action CCP takes against a player is unjust and they're all horrible human beings." quickly.

I wonder what psychologists and anthropologists make of all this ignorant bittervet whining.

I think the real amazement is how CCP has continued to survive and thrive with a player base of such miserable people.

If you don't like what CCP is doing, then stop paying for it and go away. EVE Belongs to CCP. CCP can do whatever the **** they want with it.
