so you tried to join a company that you predicted was going to end up laying you off soon? and have the audacity to claim you were worth to much money? bravo


Not at all. I was worth more., clearly, because I was right.

EDIT: And worth even more because I actually said something long enough in advance that they would have been able to do something about it.

EDIT: Just think.. all these people could have kept their jobs if somebody had listened to me at CCP.

Thank you, Jita protests. I'm glad that firing torpedoes at a statue got some real people with real livelihoods fired... Roll


IMO, the statue protests were an effect, not a cause. The cause was, fundamentally, the lack of continuity when docking (i.e. dropping the "I'm docked in my ship" view), and poor communication regarding pay to win (Fearless etc.).

Still a little way to go in my opinion. I'm currently sat in my Slicer while docked in Empire and I can't for the life of me find the way out of my ship and into my quarters. It seems that in order to leave my ship I have to escape this reality, enable an alternative timeline, undock and then redock. Way better than before but still lacking integrity. Perhaps a simple fix would be to provide two docking options "Dock to loading bay", and "dock to accommodation". Or something like that.

Tried posting but the message body keeps disappearing, seriously?

Don't fire them, re-assign them! I've worked for companies like yours and been on the receiving end of this kinda nonsense, corporate greed!

Well congrats, your greed and stupidy just cost 200 people their jobs.

Fire Hilmar for being such an incompetent CEO!!!

Today it was my solemn duty to post an announcement from CCP. You can read that announcement here.

Please keep your discussion of the announcement to this thread if possible, and understand that this and the days in the future are going to be very difficult for those at CCP. We stand behind our decisions and trust that it will ultimately bring you, the EVE community, a better game.

For all of those who are rage quitting. You are just making the situation worse. When money stops coming in, people are let go. By emo rage quitting more subs you are going to force them to make more cut backs and cut out more people we love.

Keep your subs going, get your friends into the game and bring life back to it. Once we get more people back into game, CCP can rehire many of the ones they let go.

BUT TO DO THIS they will need the support of the entire community, hell maybe even buy a plex and get something from the store.


ehm no... even if 1 plex would save one job, i am not going to use this ****, that startet all this. sounds harsh, but thats life.
good people will find jobs pretty easy, bad people won't and it's good eve got rid of them.. sounds harsh too, yeah but thats life.



I know a lot of good people without jobs.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Farewell CCP

It's been an interesting time but this is where we part ways.
I subscribed to EVE Online when I heard you were developing an MMO for WoD, both to play in your sandbox and support VtM. What I've seen, I've enjoyed. Even monoclegate.
If losing subscribers is the only thing you will listen to, I am closing my accounts.

At least the lay offs were mostly isolated to the Americans. Let us be honest; when it comes to lazy and ungrateful about their jobs, no one else comes close to the Americans.

You guys should take note, as that was literally the best content you have ever added to this game, and we miss you doing things like that.

Sorry to the guys in the US that lost their jobs, I know it'll be hardest for those to find new work.


This, tbqfh.

You set a standard with that, that has since been unsurpassed, which (in my opinion) is something to always strive for.

Not everyone who worked at the Atlanta office where American. You know CCP being a global company and all, they do relocate staff.

Really bad troll. I feel solidarity with my fellow man as tough times are mounting in all corners of the globe. US or Italy it is a shame when arogance on a pandemic level is allowed to go unchecked like it is in todays climate.

Could you not have at least waited with laying people off AFTER the holidays?
