Frontier announce revenue savings and a focused dedicated UK Development

[Nutter]

That's reading between the lines of the slightly negative reporting out on the tinterweb.

This post is for all the players that maybe confused or concerned by the scare mongers.

I personally think it's a smart and positive move for the the UK team and the product.

Which in turn means great news for players and investors.

The only negative is the Job losses in Canada, which is unfortunate but necessary.

I'm guessing there will be an official statement from FD to confirm soon enough!

Thanks Nutter, although I'm not confused or concerned by the scare mongers, just a tad annoyed

Operations Update

With its business emphasis now on two major self-published franchises, Elite: Dangerous and Coaster Park Tycoon, Frontier is re-focusing its development activities in Cambridge where the expertise in these franchises lies. Development roles are being moved from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Cambridge, and the overall staffing mix will be changed to match the needs of these two projects. 15 content creation roles have been made redundant in Cambridge (from 281 total headcount), while Frontier continues to recruit in areas such as game and technology programming, server and web front end development.

Always better to get info from the horses mouth

What job losses in Canada? Those jobs aren't being lost.

The truth is Elite is a Flop... we might love it... but I'm afraid ED is a commercial Bannana.

It does not appeal to the AAA gamers that expect to have an end game and have been brought up on high levels of graphics, leaving nothing to their imaginations.

Hmmm clever twist of my words. I got up LONG before you buddy... I'll clarify

Someone working in Canada who does not want to re-locate to the UK will lose their Job/Be made redundant. Which is unfortunate.
