Daum Project manager fired? NOPE - He's on Paternity Leave

MOD EDIT: The rumor is false. The PM in question is on paternity leave.

Below is a copy/paste

Translation:

Today is the day Deska leaves Black Desert Online.

Since december 2014 I actively participated in promoting the game among polish MMO players. We gave information, translations and published a significant number of guides for you. Unfortunately, my patience also has its limits. Because of the incompetence of the publishers, the game is dying. Many bugs, bots, hacks as well as fairytales told by the publishers caused me to believe that this game at the moment has no future.

The spirit of the game has been violated 3 times already since the time of launch. A game with atmosphere, good pvp and that something that made you able to play it for hours on end has been destroyed by Daum Games B.V.

The project manager has been fired from Daum Games B.V. due to incompetence. Most likely there will be others following soon. Regardless, I hope that my help and support have been helpful at least to some of you.

From a player, to administrator of the fansite blackdesert.com.pl and moderator of the global forum. That is how the history of Deska in Black Desert ends.

Best of Luck!

How professional of him. I wouldn't hire him in a million years.

We've reached out to the Daum EU PR folks for confirmation or denial. Thanks for the heads up!

Beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?

Agreed.  Totally unprofessional to call out someone's firing in public.

Eh, this Deska person is apparently just a volunteer mod and fansite creator. Don't know how much inside info he/she would really have.

The short answer is no. The response from Daum is here:

well that settles that, Deska is rumor mongering. Thanks for looking into this.

Deska was a loose cannon mod on their forums.  Causes lots of unnecessary drama on the forums.
