not lookin good.

Hmmmmmm

CIG’s official comment on the staffing changes is as follows:

Cloud Imperium Games continues to grow its development team across CIG's multiple studios. Each of our four offices is being streamlined to focus on specific parts of Star Citizen which will allow for a more efficient and accelerated completion of the game.

As we announced in June with the appointment of Erin Roberts as Global Production Head we have been reviewing how to optimize our development process, as a result we are moving some jobs and eliminating some redundant positions between some of our offices, as well as increasing them in others. The net result over the next few months will actually be an increase in our global internal employee base.

Looks fine to me.

Only thing the article can confirm is 2 people leaving in 1 day. Everything else including what you quoted was from..... guess who.....

Went back into the game and messed with
the planet side. Looks very detailed and looking forward to more stuff

Breaking news: Cloud Imperium no longer requires the services of a couple contractors (Who was told precisely that his position was temporary) now that they have a more experienced guy who does the exact same thing. Zeta cries doom. Coming up next: Will Carbine be ready for Wildstar's relaunch influx? The answer may surprise you. Stay tuned!

Taking anything Derek Smart says seriously is generally a pretty bad idea, FYI. But don't tell him I said that, I don't want him to sue me.

Is it any better than a guy whos last game only got published when he was bought out because microsoft was tired of 3 years of delays and still spent months to publish a unfinished game?

No clue, I'm largely ignorant of all things Wing Commander/Chris Roberts, though I did watch the movie on Netflix recently and it was god damn hilarious.

I'm purely speaking of Smart, who has a well deserved reputation for being unreliable, prone to hostile reactions to criticism, and attention seeking behavior.

He is not someone who should really be quoted as any kind of source reliable enough to write about on his word alone.

I'm glad Zeta is around to tell us again how terrifyingly bad everything is! n/m he's just being a twat as usual.

I herd if you plug your ears and go LALALALALALA louder the game will come out sooner.

Id be surprised seeing someone taking Derek Smart seriously with such unsubstantiated claims, but then again, its TheMittani...

[Darkrulerxxx]

anyone who takes derek smart seriously has no credibility when talking about star citizen.

zeta still doomsays even after the social module came out, and with citizen con coming in the next few weeks, i wonder what he and Smart will say next?

Next logical step is for Smart to ask for Chris Roberts birth certificate in order to prove whether he exists or not.

Hes only asked for public disclosure of the companies finacials which since its a crowdfunded game should be mandatory imo.

CR has already done that; at the end of every month the backers get a clear and precise breakdown of what's going on what the money is being spent on, new hires, the plan, and so on.

Vague description of what moneys being spent on vs hard company financials is a different thing. We should be able to look and see whats left of the money from the kickstarter.

I'm curious as to what company does deliver hard financials. We see rough breakdowns, occasionally, but by and large companies do not divulge their monthly expenses in detail. They have no obligation to, either.

CCP had to post thier fincials because they took a public loan, and untill they repaid it they had to post. SC has almost entirely kickstarted money, the backers should demand even though i dont think they should have to, to see if thier money is being wasted on shit it shouldnt be.
