If CCP put those 200 ppl back into EVE development, now that's a refocus

CCP fired 200 ppl purely for the bottom line, the end

Those people were never in EVE development, so in a refocus, they wouldn't be needed.

Community team is an integral part of the complete game-play experience in an MMO game.

The said they wanted to work on communication.


Seems they think working on it is when you cut off communication.

Perhaps the Community team is big enough and a bunch of people are sitting on there hands. Maybe they already know who they plan to bring in for a replacement. Maybe they do not have the cash.

You see how this just highlights that whole COMMUNICATION thing CCP seems to be unable to do.

So what they have a press release out and are probably still drafting a statement for release. Patience.

The thing im peeved about is that CCP didn't have 1000 so 20% is not 200...

(Unless someone has something that says otherwise...)

P.S. Gonna miss Fallout, Zym and friends Cry

exactly, not very good for inspiring trust or raising customer opinion.

200?

who the hell fires 300 people

only a complete moron would fire 400 workers

I think you're exaggerating a bit when you say they fired 500 people

Short answer is that it isn't a refocus. It's the result of poor financial decisions by upper management that have been obvious since the FY 2010 leak.
