In a heavy debate over why CCP EvE online has had much success over Cryptic studios Star Trek Online... the truth (http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2690063) finally comes out.
It's very hard to lay people off in Europe. I'm not sure an American company would have gone in the same personnel direction as CCP. (Not trying to be political - there's a LOT that goes into a company's decision making process, but national labor policies do factor in.) I doubt anyone at CCP would have considered doing anything but what they did anyway, but keeping their team relatively large during those tough first years helped them develop content and fix stuff at a very fast rate.
So because it's harder to lay off europeans, they stayed together as a studio longer and made greater things???? lol weaksauce
Never buying a Cryptic game ever again.
