CPP Lays of 20% of its Staff

Posted Oct 19, 2011 at 6:00PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: ccp, dust 514, Eve Online, world of darkness

The EVE Online developer claims it spread itself too thin on unproven projects and now needs to focus more on the EVE universe.

CCP is, in my opinion, an excellent developer. They are incredible at working with their community, and for that they deserve a top slot in the upper-echelon of game development studios. However, I would wager I wasn’t alone when I felt skeptical about the prospects of their new titles, Dust 514 and World of Darkness.

It appears CCP didn’t feel too great about those new properties either and after taking a hard look at its development principles and business model, has decided to dramatically cut back staff and focus more exclusively on keeping EVE alive and well. The studio wants gamers to know that development on both World of Darkness and Dust 514 is slated to continue, but I’m getting a bad sensation that at least one of the projects will eventually be scrapped.

Here’s part of the official statement:

As we reexamine our outward relations, we are also taking time to reevaluate our internal goals. In doing so, we have come to the conclusion that we are attempting too many things for a company our size. Developing EVE expansions, DUST 514 and World of Darkness has stretched our resources too thin.

Rather than allowing this to persist, we have made the decision to sharpen our focus. Sadly, this means reducing our staff. We estimate that around twenty percent of global positions will be affected by this process. These will be predominantly in our Atlanta, GA office, although select positions in our Reykjavik, Iceland office will be affected.

We are very sad to lose some of our talented and dedicated colleagues to this necessary process. Naturally we are making every effort within our means to help them find alternative employment. Decisions like these are difficult for all those involved and extraordinarily sad for all of those whose lives are affected.

Following this reorganization, we must do a better job by focusing on these priorities:

For the immediate future, our mission is to enrich the vast EVE Universe by strengthening the continuous development of EVE Online while preparing to bring DUST 514 to market on the PS3. We do this in order to realize our ambitious and challenging plan of joining the two in a cross-platform, truly massive online world.

World of Darkness will continue development with a significantly reduced team. This team will continue to iterate and expand on the gameplay and systems they have designed. We will also redeploy creative teams in Atlanta to support the launch of DUST 514.

It sounds like CCP is dedicated to bringing both titles to fruition, so hopefully they can see it through. EVE completely changed the way a multiplayer game could function and was one of the first titles in which you could turn being a bad man into a good living – a real change from the imagined individuality of other MMOs.

Do you think these layoffs indicate tough times for CCP’s games, or are they merely a natural step back from a company that overstepped its means?
