Much of the staff in the Newcastle office has been absorbed from the former offices of the recently-defunct Midway Studios branch in Newcastle, including executive Robert Troughton.

After a number of closures and failures, it's good to see the industry regaining its footing, and expanded studios can only be good for CCP's fans and its games. And if you happen to be a software engineer in the area with some console experience, well, they are hiring...

It means Dust is ramping up, and they need people familiar with the console market, with contacts at both MS & Sony to iron out the politics involved, and provide ongoing support and improvements. I think it's a solid move, CCP is finally starting to spread its wings and expand, which is good. It's also good that they've tried to keep things small and modular, ie they could've hired hundreds more years ago, but decided to grow slowly, which I think is smart.

Also nice to see them 'rescuing' existing teams rather than just employing everyone from scratch.
