I think you mean 'X'.I follow him on Twitter and he has been ignoring SC for a while now (like most sensible people)

Turbulent has done an excellent job with the store and bringing money to CIG, but on the other hand his boss is the one who recently stated that infamous « PES is behind us »… Hitting deadlines comes at a cost.Thanks to Turbulent's power to hit deadlines maybe?![]()
Quietest since 2016-2017 I'd say...and for the same reasons. The primary focus by upper management of the parent company, Cloud Imperium... as opposed to the now subsidiary companies' comprising Cloud Imperium~Games, is on expansion and restructuring whilst forcing the game development teams to producing bespoke content for upcoming sales/marketing events instead of developing gamesI've no idea if Twitch is broken, or if SC viewing has bottomed out this week, but Twitch clips have gone from like ~100 per day, down to about ~5.
Today there are 2 currently. Here is one of them:
Vid submissions also seemingly very slow.
Possibly just summer + patch lulls combined (along with the general PES hangover / CIG run of clangers). Does feel like one of the slowest periods for a long time though.
The marketing budget has run dry and viewbotting and fake refugee content creators are out of stock now.I've no idea if Twitch is broken, or if SC viewing has bottomed out this week, but Twitch clips have gone from like ~100 per day, down to about ~5.

Well, it very likely isn't 1000+ persons with only few of them IT specialists. I mean if there were any such specialists I gather many tier 0 would have advanced to T1 probably.Something tells me you can't run a 1000+ person company mainly comprised of IT specialists on this sort of income

Based on average US salary for developers, you need to be pulling in about 10,000+ dollars per hour, minimum. And that's just salaries. Not including all other costs. The actual amount i calculated was over 13,000 dollars per hour. Let's assume salaries are about 66% of costs, then you need 20k per hour.

Ah, the tragic figure. The guy who shaped the scam but didn't earn any big dolla of it because he had no clue how sharks move in business. What's Lesnick doing today?You say that, but Little Ant has been showing us some lovely buggy videos from months ago
There's life in the old dog yet...
It does make Chris's 1000-dev emporium in Manchester look a wee bit presumptuous doesn't it.
But meh, once they train up enough junior devs to get a BMM shell out, or comparable, and wave around some magic Tier 0 for 3.21.anyminutenow...
...A core batch of believers will burrow into their pockets once more. So it goes. Should be called Lesnick's Law or something.
Aka 'the product previously known as viable'.I think you mean 'X'.![]()
Weren´t Morphologis and Mike saying something along the same lines a few weeks ago?I've no idea if Twitch is broken, or if SC viewing has bottomed out this week, but Twitch clips have gone from like ~100 per day, down to about ~5.

Frankfurt studios built around a hotel and conference centre...Manchester studios built around a custom designed MOCAP or PCAP facility...Asian business trips...there's income not connected with space games coming in from somewhere. The immediate funding for star citizen might have seasonally slumped pre-empting the annual marketing drive starting with CitCon...but that's not a direct concern for the moment.You say that, but Little Ant has been showing us some lovely buggy videos from months ago

Turbulent and Foundry 42...etc... I suspect will become the 'Bethesda' for Ci's 'Zenimax' parallel...eventually...if the subsidiary companies manage to drag Sqn 404 and possibly a marketable, working PU out of the fire. They've been obviously tasked with doing so.Yeah, it definitely all speaks to your empire building theory. (Alongside the Turb absorption etc)
Although I'm sceptical that they'd really try and dev more games in parallel. It would just be too much of a blatant smack in the face to even the most oblivious backer. (Mocap services, or other output that's parallel to games, but not games, maybe. Such actions could be pretzel-brained around by those who want to see the best in CIG... 'Anything they earn gets put straight back into the company! This is good for SC!' / 'I told you they were going to sell their technology!'
