Arent we due an explanation from Peter before Christmas?

The question is now how long before 22cans is dissolved and Peter forms a new company to try to escape the Godus/22cans stigma.

Huh. In the unofficial roadmap I wrote, I gave George until March 2015. Everything moves so fast these days.

George, over recent months I've had the impression that you've not been particularly enjoying your role as community liaison, so that's all the more reason to congratulate you on your new job. I'm sure there are multiple factors in your decision to make this change, and it sounds like you've found an exciting opportunity with your new company. I bet a more manageable commute will make a huge difference to your quality of life. Also, while we outsiders can only speculate as the day-to-day realities of working for PM, it doesn't like a very rewarding experience when you're trying to be a CM.

You've done a lot for the community and I know you've tried to do a whole hell of a lot more than what has actually been achievable given the constraints you've worked within, so thanks for that. Will you be sticking around the forums?

As I understand it Matt was a contractor not an employee so his departure probably signifies a trimming back of the investment in godus more than anything else.

Sad to see george go but it's good for him. His post talks of a full release I'm 2015 but I just don't know how that can happen.

On my phone so will keep it brief.

Matthew Allen is leaving too?

It all comes down to whether you think getting peter off the project more than outweighs the loss of other resources. I'm inclined to think peter was a pretty big liability so there is a small chance moo can actually get stuff done if he narrows the focus on single player and has the latitude to throw out some of the mobile crap.

I wouldn't describe the community as "patient", more like the community had no other options to wait while peter screwed godus and then pissed off.

...and we weren't joking about resume updates.

I wonder how many will chalk 22cans up to 'at her Majesty's pleasure' or leave a time gap rather than admit the embarrassment of tucans.

It wasn't possible to deliver a big win in this community. You've been amazing as a CM, but you can't work miracles. Everything you've tried to achieve has been undermined by the decisions taken over your head.

I can't even imagine having to deal with Godus from the perspective of a CM. Repititious complaints and suggestions from users, week in and week out. Knowing that the vast majority of these concerns are not going to be addressed, but not being able to say so. Slow-moving development and development in outwardly-inexplicable directions compounding the issue of user dissatisfaction. Focus on the mobile side, but then mobile users tend only to participate in the online community when they have a complaint, so even that side of the project can't have felt very rewarding. Unlike the rest of us you don't hide behind anonymity so it must take a personal toll to have to face this every day.

So, you weren't bad at your job. You've been a victim of a horribly managed project where you weren't given the resources or influence to achieve what you wanted. Moving on is the best decision you could have made.

Well, I didn't necessarily want to get you talking on your opinions of the product! I don't know how much you'd ever be able/prepared to say. But I would absolutely love to hear a bit more about you experiences of working at 22Cans, especially given that you've had other experiences in similar roles in the games industry so you have a good basis for comparison with other companies.
