You have my vote sir!

Please keep it up.

As for CCP employees past and present. Thank you for making/help make the greatest game around. Even with its faults eve is the best. I hope CCP can weather the storm. I look forward to Dusk, WoD and many more CCP games in the future. CCP is the best hope we have to bringing an end to the stagnation in the MMO industry. Be bold pilot!

For the employees that lost there jobs today. I wish you and your families the best. Thank you for all you have done for the community, the industry, and the game.

Ill take under consideration what you say as soon as you can answer for me why Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. Still has a job?

I can answer if you don't understand by yourself.

- He made mistakes
- He admitted that he made mistakes
- He is honestly sorry about the mistakes and learned plenty from them
- He committed to return EvE back to track and increase communication to prevent similiar stuff happening in future
- He is making necessary adjustments to recover from the mistakes and setting sail to new course

Today's actions are part of the difficult recovery process.

Even good CEO may make mistakes as long he has enough balls take the responsibility if crap hits the fan. Hilmar is doing just this.
Laying your own employees off is most difficult task you can give yourself. It isn't easy and you don't take it lightly. You do it only if it is inevitable to prevent even worse events. Every worker you fire you fire because of your own mistakes. That really makes you think what being humble means.



I believe also the nature of how CCP is ran it is not a publically owned company, that means there is no board of directors, it means Hilmar is the boss, there is nobody who can fire him, he is the head of the company, there is no board of directors to vote him outta the job, the only way he can lose it is if #1 he quits due to pressure from the community or staffing, or #2 his company goes to hell because everybody leaves in protest or it isn't making money.

I also do not believe Hilmar deserves to be sacked, he has screwed up he knows that, I do not believe that CCP are only after fattening their wallets unlike what alot of people say I do believe they are trying to make more money, but they're a business that's what businesses do, but I also believe the extra money will be reinvested into EvE as well as their other projects.




Although on a different note, i'm slightly confused, how is realising you're stretched too thin and trying to do too much with not enough people mean you have to reduce staff numbers, surely if you don't have enough people, the best thing is to employ more, the only reason you'd lay people off if there are finanacial concerns and you cannot afford to employ more staff to make up for the extra hours needed to not be stretched thing, or you are concerned that the company has become too large too fast, and it is part of the reason for the lack of communication and other issues and wish to downsize and get the company back to how it previously was.

Knowing CCP I wouldn't be suprised if it is in an attempt to fix their communication issues and get back to being that close friendly developers that we all love, rather than becoming so large they have to become too corporate and cold to the community to avoid any issues with communication.

CCP is run by a board consisting of 7 people: Vilhjálmur Þorsteinsson (chairman), Birgir Már Ragnarsson, David Fialkow, Sigurður Ólafsson, Stephen Wieck, Reynir Harðarson and deputy board members: Reynir Harðarson and Isaac Kato

To the people wanting to knock Hilmar down, i ask you this:

Did you like EVE before Incarnia?

If yes, then he is responsible for 1 (apparent) error.

If not, why are you still here? Do you like playing games you don't like?

Incarnia bought in SM 3. THAT is what taxed video cards. And since SM 3 has been out for about a decade, if you got a burnt out video card then it was a golden opportunity to buy a new one hey?

Also, personally i love it how people QQ all day long about bugs in EVE and coding methods used, but QQ even more when CCP spend time fixing it...

Not lets face reality here for a minute. The GFC that has been going on for the past 3 years is still happening. There are not many places where it's not affecting anyone.

And the decision/s needed for restructure and refocus would have been made at a boards' request or at the very least, the boards' full approval.

Thx for that info. +1

I had a week old, new, updated computer before Incarna. In high settings it fries eggs. I can run it in low setting but this suggests that something is wrong to me.

It's odd that I'm running a system at least 5 years old and never had the problem. I did running multiple accounts but that's unrealistic anyway.

Is being "new" a cause?
