CCP Games just laid off 56 employees

Their entire staff that was working on their World of Darkness MMO were just laid off and the entire MMO cancelled after 8 years of development.

If Portalarium has any openings in the near future, I hope they consider reaching out to these devs.

 

Why reach out to them? If they couldn't make that work in 8+ years then we don't want them here...we got deadlines

 

great point.


and the whole thing sounds like a tax scam

 

I still have a few EvE accounts, and was quite interested when they announced WoD all those years ago. I have followed any news over the years but i had already thought it had died. Im surprised they had so many people working on it, last i heard it was only like 5 people im sure.
I wish CCP would concentrate on their main game, and leave all their other get rich quick schemes alone. I used to have high hopes for them as a company but they can make some terrible decisions imo.

 

I think Star Citizen has forced them to shift their focus.

 

Never even heard of them

They make Eve Online, one of the bigger and longer lasting MMOs on the market.

Make sure never to hire anyone from Blizzard then. That company was working on Project Titan for at least 6 years that we know about (their successor to World of Warcraft) before scrapping the entire project last year and starting over from scratch. Now they're saying it will be several more years before that project will see the light of day.

So clearly Blizzard knows nothing about developing a successful MMO.
