Rebloging my post on Facebbok about that (in portuguese for brazilain players):

A CCP que há alguns anos incorporou a empresa White Wolf (responsável por alguns dos bestsellers dos RPGs nos anos 90's e inicio dos 2000's), e que veio a cancelar grande parte da produção da WW (incluindo o CardGame Vampire: The Eternal Struggle - segundo a ser criado, tendo o mesmo criador do aclamado Magic: The Gathering), anunciou um corte de 20% no pessoal.
Ressaltando que este corte em principalmente na equipe da White Wolf, sediada em Atlanta - US.

A CCP afirma que esta centralizando seus esforços no seu MMO EVE online e no jogo para PS3, baseado nele. Dentre as justificativas, a perda de alguns usuários do EVE nos últimos meses (apesar de o total ainda ser muito maior que o a mesma época, no ano passado).

Atualmente a linha de RPGs da White Wolf havia se tornado praticamente digital (em PDF, pois a CCP sequer se preocupou em investir nas medias mais modernas como os ePUBs, para conquistar espaço nos tablets) e no POD (print on demand - impressão por encomenda).

A CCP afirma que continuara lançando material pela WW. Mas, já não há previsão para o lançamento do MMO do World of Darkness (baseado nos clássicos do RPG).

Triste para os fãs.

Mesmo que alguns não gostem de Vampiro: A mascara, Lobsomem: O Apocalipse, Mago: A Ascensão, entre outros... Ainda assim é triste uma empresa comprar outra (com produtos tão aclamados), simplesmente para joga-lá no lixo.

What I can see is that VTES will not come back by CCP's hands.

I'm trying hard to keep VTES alive here. But, some players are giving up.
Is hard to keep a decommissioned ship floating

I'm trying hard to keep VTES alive here. But, some players are giving up.

See, I just don't get that. If you enjoyed the game last month, or last year, IT'S THE SAME GAME.

Keep talking with your players about how there are 40 clans, 28 disciplines with literally THOUSANDS of combinations, and 25 sets from which to draw cards from to create new decks. Encourage these players who are sad about 'no more new cards' that there are all these combinations that they haven't yet explored and that you are willing to trade them cards to make this happen.

Often times, players want to play a particular deck or strategy and they don't have the vampires or the cards to do it, so if the playgroup wishes to survive, the playgroup needs to adapt to more friendly trading methods.

e.g. If everyone has a few Trophies, then EVERYONE needs to trade ALL their trophies to the one guy that wants to but can't make a Trophy deck.
