Damn, just read through all reviews on GGS from glassdoor.

Seems Steve was not the problem, the entire company is.

Take a long read here from current and ex-employees to see how rotten the company is.

I feel bad for the way you were treated on the forums and even more so the way the company treats its employees. Must be good to get away from all that.

Once again good on you Steve for leaving, well done.

Hey CM Arcanine,


I didn't see you around much, since by the time you came in as a prominent community manager I had already retired from my forum days. However, you seemed just, fair and thoughtful in the communities wishes and regulations. With a heavy heart, I say bye. The time spent in GGS was surely well spent, but it seems that even the best things must end eventually. I wish you best luck in all future endeavours. 

~Dun

Really sorry to see you go Steve mate, I wish you well in life and hope that GGE realize what a loss you are to the company.

Goodbye and good luck Steve, Wishing you all the best for your future

Hi steve

Respects for the way you took this on yourself to act as a go between....

Like footy fans many on here me included class the go between as the none responsive horde,you do not come across like this and the efforts on the nomad issue months ago was honest,upfront and you did not get the credit you deserve.....people always take the negatives...ie this is not what i want  in email blah blah blah but you set up a skype room which in itself was going against the grain and code of conduct gge have.

So goodluck,respects and above all I hope you have a long and happy life mate.

The current situ with no live chat,delayed replies on a weekend shows gge as a restricted response company struggling to understand the importance of the customer base-replies to those spending money on a weekend should not need an email,should be live chat,I do understand the cost issue but same time the game would have a happy customer base and it would work better.

Gge please understand this guys work here-many players I feel stayed on this server putting money in your pockets because of him-these guys need more power,restricting them gives the customers a frustrated game and above all makes many leave for better customer relation games..........so listen you lovely german xxxxx!

Godbless peace and love from the honest geordieeeeee

Paid to lie and cheat, seems he finally realised what he was doing.

If God exist he just might not be going to hell, who knows.

Wondering what he is doing now, grabbing the money elswhere?

And after that telling the same old story?

Stop crying and take the money Steve, or not, its up to you, goodluck.

Grow up.

Congratulations. You just won moronic comment of the year with that. And there's been some strong contenders so far!

Dearest Empire community,

Writing this is difficult, so please bear with me. It's been almost 3 years of adventures, discussion and debates with you guys, and today that journey comes to an end. 

During the course of my vacation, I was left with time to consider the current situation with Goodgame Studios, the recent layoffs, and what the future has in store. It is with a heavy heart, that I have decided that the best move for me in the future, would be to step down from the position and leave the company. 

This wasn't an easy decision to make, as through all the ups and downs that we've had, I've been honored to call this place my 'home', and working with all of you (yes, even you, you know who you folks are!) has been an absolute pleasure. I can only hope that you've enjoyed having me here as much as I've enjoyed being here, and that our times together will be remembered. 

Actually, this was my first ever position as a Community Manager. After Malreyn stepped down and left control of the forums to me, I've learnt an incredible amount from all of you, and have always done my best to ensure that your voices are heard, and that you receive the information you want to receive. I know things haven't always been perfect, but I've always had you in my heart, and always will do.

GGS has given me a lot over the years, incredible friendships, great experiences, and the opportunity to work with all of you, but time waits for no man, and there's a world out there that needs exploring. Don't worry; Empire will live on, and you'll be in the amazing hands of Evoke. Rosie is a great friend of mine, and she'll do everything she can to help all of you, so please be kind to her. Of course, our forum angel Wicked will still be around to back Rosie up, which I'm very grateful for.

I'll leave this thread open and pop in over the next few days if any of you have anything you'd like to discuss with me via PM before you go, feel free to wing one my way. 

Thanks again for everything, and all the best for the future, whatever it may hold for all of you. To the moderators; thank you for always having my back and assisting me when I needed it the most. To all of you players; thanks for bearing with me during some rough times. I hope you'll all look back on our time together fondly.

For one last time, all the best, and much love,

Steve.

p.s. here's a daft image of me in one of our old offices, putting a face to the name.
