Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

You should put some bandaids on them then, or go to a hospital or something. Why are you bringing your medical emergencies to the EVE-O forums??

It always did strike me as funny that employees from a company named "Crowd Control Productions" would end up working for a company called "Riot Games".

It's not really supposed to be for expatiating incoherent ranting about doom and gloom either, but apparently you didn't get the memo.

This is literally what the both of you sound like to me though and I'm enjoying it so, please, proceed to feed my 'worthless rebuttals' with fresh material.

How is this any different then another company having people come and go. I
m sure Blizzard for example has lost a lot of good programmers and devs over the years. People go where money is, or based on time, or just get bored/burnt out a job. Its normal and its life.

And for all the 'talent' that left, there are tons more behind the scenes that we have no idea who they are, that could easily be just as talented or better then dude a who just left. Or the next guy they hire could be better.

Its not so much hemorrhaging, the global economy has rebounded. This tends to make people who had a job and stayed there because, well, the market sucked, re-evaluate. Its really nothing to freak out about, and the only reason we know or care is because we are a small community that tracks the movement of every dev that graces us with there presence. So it looks bad, but in reality, it isn't. It honestly doesn't matter if every face we know, from CCP Guard to Hilmar left CCP in a year or two. As long as the new faces keep the game moving forward. Contrary to popular believe, there is no one person who will save the game and if that person goes the entire ship will collapse.

Its sad to see people go, esp onces we like, but when CCP Ovure who was the face of EvE for years left the game kept going. When hammer left the game kept going. The point is, the game keeps going. People leaving is nothing.. It COULD be something, but usually its not. This is just normal business. I'm sure a lot of you have worked for companies and seen great people go, and the company kept going. *shrugs*

No offense to CCP Veritas, who is a smart guy, but no company with any sense at all gives such a big project to a single person.
The Bus factor is too low. (bus factor: how many people can be hit by a bus, before the project tanks)

Or in CCPs case the Riot factor.

I see people going. Who's coming? Can you honestly tell me that you've seen anyone hired recently who was able to fill the void left behind by people like Soundwave, Veritas, or WhiteNoiseTrash?

wait, whaaat? whitenoisetrash too?

I don't think it's a question to anyone that these people are great examples of the strength of a company resting in the people who compose it. that's why it's news when they leave. I don't think I'm alone in believing these people take their value with them and will be fine in their new endeavors. but damn what? we were just shooting the **** with whitenoisetrash last week.
