What is happening? CCP Soundwave leaving for riot and now CCP Zulu leaving for same destination also. 2 pillars leaving in short period must mean something.

Not happy with the turn that EVE is taking with the late management changes? High positions given to the outsiders while maybe they wanted them?

RIOT swimming in cash from their F2P game is probably why this is happening.

Hard to say no to large sacks of cash.

Work together - form friendship
New opportunity, more money
One guy goes, likes it
Second guy follows
Both guys make more money and still have their friendship
Profit!

Well, those companies (Riot, Zynga, etc.) are where the big money is, these days...

I work in a multi-national. Friendships and working relationships can span oceans and continents with relative ease. I'd absolutely follow some of my friends to continue to work with people I admire and trust, even long-range.

Its good to get outside talent to shake up the game.

It's also poisoning the game when top Devs are /too/ friendly with player groups.

But, they could steer EVE in another direction that none of us actually wants.

Personally, I don't see this working out in the long run and will be selling off characters in alt ACCTS.

That 3 year plan CCP has must be a doozy.

And greed is good.

Speculations you say....

Same sex marriage is legal in California now. Coincidence?

Zynga has been in a financial tailspin since it went public, including some nasty layoffs and company restructuring. Now exactly where the "big money" is at.

The only thing surprising to me is how long CCP has been able to keep some devs. I own my own company now, but before that I changed programming jobs every 3 years or so to go where the $$$, the cool tech, or just the challenge was. I don't think there is much to read into a couple devs who've worked for years at one company leaving to go to a company that is doing well and has some different stuff to work on.

Rumor is they don't like the direction the game is going to take if/when EA's buyout offer is accepted.

Pretty much this.

Is this just speculation or was there an offer from EA to purchase CCP? I've always heard people saying Sonly Online Entertainment would be trying to make a purchase, not EA.

...if there IS a 3 year plan. Nobody's heard anything substantial about this "plan"...
