I wonder why....
Seven sales already this year
- In Case You Missed It
- Siege Of Orison
- Valentines (Coramor)
- Chinese New Year (Red Festival)
- Free Fly
- Capture The Idris
- Jumptown
Nothing in the pitch changed, they are just delivering on parts of it and still working on others.
Game Developer has reached out to Cloud Imperium Games about the layoffs and allegations, and will update when a response is given.
My partners brother in law is friends with a senior dev in CIG. This is not a bad thing. There is a massive hiring push in Manchester. Many dev teams are set up there and theres a lot of talent in the local area. People laid off will simply be people who couldn't relocate. They don't intend to cut the team they want to refill those numbers
Sure those articles are overhyped but having 2 irl friends in the studios, there was indeed quite alot of layoff on the NA side (Austin/LA/Montreal). Not sure why people are in such denial that this can happen
Man even non-game companies laying off game devs these days. Goddamn.
I've seen the reason given is that the QT bubble allows higher speeds. It's utter space magic.
The average SCM speed i've seen is 250 m/s. 250 m/s is about 550 mph. That's the speed of a privet jet today. In atmosphere.
The Falcon 9 rocket hits speeds of 17,500 mph! With no QT needed. And our ships are supposed to be 900 years more advanced.
Interesting to note when somebody responds to a usual J3PT white knighting, their comment is deleted - and the poster likely suspended.Stuart stirring the pot...

Seven ship sale events already, and we're only 58 days into 2024 - Star Citizen Spectrum
CIG are going all in this year In Case You Missed It Siege Of Orison Valentines (Coramor) Chinese New Year (Red Festival) Free Fly Capture The Idris Jumptownrobertsspaceindustries.com
I think CIG should just go all in and have a new sale every day.
And the title of this one is hilarious.

StarCitizen - drifting from the pitch? - Star Citizen Spectrum
This isn't criticism or an attack of any sort, but it is an attempt to reconcile Star Citizen of the last decade with the product that's emerging now. I'm not speaking for anyone but myself here,...robertsspaceindustries.com
Drifting from the pitch? Well, in the same way the Titanic drifted a bit into an iceberg.

You're only there to gove money. Those who get the Idris are there to promote the show.... and then are barred from boarding or seeing the inside of it until Squadron 42, while those who didn't buy one steal and possibly get a free one.
What a deal!
My brother works for CIG and the move has added a massive commute to his day. He used to be able to walk to work, but he can't afford to move to Manchester. You'd think that if they wanted his skills enough to pay to relocate him from the other side of the planet they could throw him a bone locally.
