From Kael:
I’m sure the news is starting to creep out, so I’ll let you all know that I’m still here. Many, many of my favorite super talented people are not. It is a shitty day.

This fucking sucks. Some of the people they fired have been there for over a decade: not just administrative staff, but people who developed content for the game, like ship artists. No wonder why they put the legendary bundles on sale just now, they’re trying to appease their shareholders. Well, they can get fucked, I’m keeping my two hundred bucks.
From other sources, it seems like the people laid off had moved to other projects that were cancelled, and were not working on STO full time. Which still sucks and represents a loss of institutional knowledge, but may not impact the game directly.
Give it time. Firing everyone on not yet generating revenue projects is low hanging fruit. Kael is in shock and mourning, I’m not expecting the best from reading between the lines.
