They apparently have nothing better to do to fill their work schedules - I think that is telling.

I do hope they also do all the farting sounds, be hilarious to be walking along and hear a horrendous fart from a nearby toilet, or a high pitched trumpeting (gondor calls for aid) as they let a tight one rip!
Yep they're a dev. This guy in fact...
Recently happily talking about how all the VFX and functionality of soft death will have to change when they include the Maelstrom physics system for physicalised damage and engineering failures etc...

But he is clearly just having a laugh, is he not?
Cavill will be too busy fighting Heresy and Chaos. He could start with Roberts; the new Chaos God of Entropy (nothing ever gets done).
Laugh, boredom, taking a micky, sincereness - it's hard to determine context from a socialo media bit.
It's even harder when its a statement from a CIG dev.
With most normal studios it's easy to spot the micky takes. CIG are the only one to try and turn micky taking into the actual game.
The line between parody and seriousness with regards to SC is so blurred these days its impossible to know.
SC is like the scene from Knights of the Holy Grail where Lancelot storms a castle. He runs on the same spot several times, guards look bewildered, then is suddenly on top of them, slaughters men and women mercilessly on the way in and the prize is a spoilt, gay prince who wants to flee and sing (not what Lancelot expects or wants and nothing the king expects or wants).

Great Benefits, Wasteful Management

Business Outlook
Pros
- Health and Dental benefits are excellent - Lots of cool people to work with - The IP is cool and interesting and really has potential
Cons
- Severe mismanagement of funds and other resources at the C-level and among some Directors and middle management - Middle management in general is hit or miss - there are some great managers who are effective and care about the work and the people, but there are also several who hover, micromanage, hold you back, and generally discourage individual progression - Lack of repercussions for higher ups, while lower level employees are easily discarded due to "budget constraints" - While the Austin office has been left to slowly rot, the LA office equates to a black hole for backer funds. - There are clear and intentional actions taken to ask more and more of employees without any increase in compensation, which is already poor and misrepresented in job listings. As an example of wasted time and funds: Studios regularly provide breakfast and other refreshment options for all employees. When it comes to C-level executives though, there is absolutely "special treatment" that directly translates to wasted time and money -- These individuals get extra expensive pastries, coffee, etc. on a daily basis. These are not made available to any other employees and requests for these are treated as top priority "Do it now" tasks, regardless of whatever else is going on. Executives will literally delay meetings until they receive whatever it is they requested, and will not hesitate to complain or send it back if it is not exactly to their liking.
Advice to Management
Focus on creating a positive and supportive culture that does not take advantage of your already constantly stressed employees. Stop wasting money on trivial , get down off your high horse, and don't give employees, critics, and would-be fans any more reason to call this company out for what it seems to be right now: a scam. It has been heartbreaking to find out that so much of what people say about this company is true, and how much of it is just swept under the rug.
I wonder how mop and bucket gameplay has advanced?
The game loops must be refined enough now to meaningfully engage with all these new emergent gameplay possibilities.

So I built a tech, but it fell into the technical swamp!
So I built another tech on top of the old, but it also fell into the technical swamp!
I will only consider SC feature complete when i can poop the bed, fold the dirty sheets, and thrown them in the trash cans.
But this database stood up!
Now hurry up and marry the nice EA lady, we've spent all of the money.....
Befouled bedsheet deformation physics!
Never been done before! I cannot wait to see how long it takes for some enterprising org to write DSWR on some prominent building in persistent poopies.

Lacking proper animation your mob and bucket task is to wait under the toilet for the "drop" to happen and clean it up.
"Stand" is a euphemism - It just sticks in all the refuse that dropped into the swamp and refuses to fall over. For now.
