Doesnt suprise me. CCP's leadership is incompetent as you can read here in the comments:

Things like the announcment of Legion at fanfest was one of the stupid decisions they made. But the list goes much further.

EA is equal to CCP in this regard. EA management is a clusterf*ck of fail too. Its not the devs fault that EA sucks, just like it isnt the Dust devs fault that Dust sucks.

Look up many more game publishers you'll see a similar trend amongst most of them.

Oddly this mostly applies to technology companies not just video game companies.

There are exceptions of course but they're not heard of often.

EA releases good games like every mass effect, mirrors edge, dragon age, madden, fifa,nhl, bf, medal of honor(don't count warfighter), dead space, and many others. So stop bashing EA cause if they made dust im sure it would be alot better just saying...

lolwut? Do you even IWS?

??? so what happened to 1, 2, 3 and 4?

In countenance you should see how the end of CSM 7 was.

Personally, if I was in the CPM, I would have got fired by now. No way I would sit there and say nothing about what went on at FF. Maybe more crumbs will fall off the cookie...soon

You really are just about the dumbest person on the forums aren't you?

CSM 5 was the CSM that dealt with CCP during incarna, and how they were acting EXACTLY like they are now. The released public addresses, signaled the playerbase things were wrong, caused a lot of ruckus about the way things were going. CSM 5 tried to represent their players. You have done no such thing, you sold us all down the river while brown nosing your butt off.

CPM is the #1 reason that Dust is in the sad state it is in today.

OH SNAP ! Fun Read !

NK had a great blog about the whole fanfest clusterfuck but went off the reservation and started bashing Kain, maybe that's why he got fired (extremely unprofessionally by logibro, I might add)

Snark.

If you're taking a break or winding down, there's no need for some grandiose speech. People take breaks, Everyone on the CPM has had to take one at some point or another during these last "3 months".

However, I cannot excuse the tone of this post, and I need to call Bull when I see it, whether it is from CCP or one of my fellow councilbros (and I expect them to do the same for me. This post is basically summed up as "Look at all the great **** that Kane is doing and wants to do" and makes it seem like he's the only one pushing for any of this or having any of these conversations. This post is a great summary of everything the entire CPM did at fanfest and are doing now, However.

The CPM is a team sport. Self-serving, "champion of the people" acts are ill-suited for the position. The unfortunate truth is that the when the real truth is being hidden by the NDA, the only public truth is the one that is spoken. This makes posts like Kane's OP dangerous as it skews the and diminishes (intentionally or not) the efforts and actions of his fellow Councilbros by drawing singular attention to himself and tying these actions to himself, not the whole group.

I wish I could echo IWS' sentiments, and while it is true that during Fanfest and Councilbro meetings everyone is blue.. The rest of the time, that is pretty much null and void. Kane is completely dependant on public attention (good or bad) and at best he could be described as a mindless parrot regurgitating the opinions of those he speaks to who are much more intelligent than he is... even if he doesn't fully understand those opinions. This has led to him rapidly changing position on key issues throughout the year, to the point where he even argues against his own points when one turns around and switches perspectives. Many people have accused him of being self-serving and using internal knowledge to benefit himself. These accusations are entirely false. (At least to my knowledge, but I have no reason to suspect otherwise) That being said, I would be lying if I said we as a council have not had to smack down some pretty selfish proposals in the past.

I won't say he hasn't done good stuff as a councilbro, as working together we have all done some excellent stuff. But I will not sit by and let him try to sell himself as a hero of the people when he has been anything but. If he spent less time looking for gratification and trying to seem space-important, he'd be able to do a lot more good.

Just saying.

(Shots fired?)

With all due respect, this announcement is in and of itself somewhat unprofessional.

...

Apologies to Nova, seems an earlier midnight draft slipped through. The incompetence referred to in the first post is due to an inability to professionally and diplomatically work with other council members and CCP. There's no actual incompetence beyond that. I've reworded it a bit to better reflect the actual situation.

And for anyone asking, a CPM member would not be removed for disagreeing with development direction unless they also threatened to breach the NDA in regards to it (in which case they would be removed due to threatening to breach the NDA, not disagreeing). Additionally, this action was not taken in response to a single incident, but instead actions over a longer period of time.

Do you even IWS?

So Nova got fired, Kaz retired.

So we have:

IWS: Biggest CCP whiteknight.

Kain: Been accused of stealing people's ideas and passing it off as his own (possibly related to nova getting fired)

Jenza:... don't think I need to say anything there.

So what is causing the cookie to crumble? CCP themselves? Or the failure of DUST and them not wanting to be part of it anymore?

Personally, if I was in the CPM, I would have got fired by now. No way I would sit there and say nothing about what went on at FF. Maybe more crumbs will fall off the cookie...soon

Do I even IWS??? ...wait...

I really hate the white knight comment. Fanboy. This is usually uttered by grown man children who are idiots.

IWS, for what its worth, does his job well here and its commendable that as a CPM, he still has the guts to come around here and speak with you guys as you hurl your negative comments, name calling and overall "burn him at the stakes" posts at him. I know I couldn't have the patience to deal with the over abundance of moronic, bratty posts.

LOL @ the "If I was in the CPM..." daydream post. What makes you think the CPMs weren't vocal about the ordeal in the first place?

just drop your pants for him if you love him that much. just like ccp iws misled the player base. check out his posts days before fanfest hyping it up and alluding to new content, when the whole time he knew exactly what was happening.

Anyone who really kept up with me would have known I was being "bittersweet" about it.

CPM = No comment about Nova Knife
CCP = Gross incompetence...

CPM, I'm sorry... You were the scapegoat to CCP's bullshit plan,
CCP NEEDS TO CLEAN THIS MESS AND MESSAGE THE COMMUNITY...

btw, @Offtopic
Legion progression is going to suck badly... I'm sorry ... The only part of this game you guys did a great job is going to fail in your 2nd chance (Love playing militia fittings for money) ...

Should we feel sorry for you? I somehow doubt that the sacred NDA tells you to scam the community. And that's what you've been doing. Instead of STFUing you were gathering brown points with CCP. What's bittersweet about that? I just hope you can cash big on that service.










The flipside is that now everybody knows you're a shill and nothing you say can be trusted. It's a damn shame.
