"Ich glaube dies ist kaputt"Gonna need a new ship
The real story goes like this, no one knows but Ripley also destroyed the Sulaco even before the alien got aboard. The movie was just embellishing it.
For some reason this part reminded me of CIG spamming ship sales at players... and the sound of the gun comes across as 'buy!' 'buy!!' 'BUY!!!'
The silence speaks volumes.
The animation to get into that thing plays for how long? And it doesn't even do a helmet flip.Gonna need a new ship
But it flips some switches!

I don’t recall seeing in spectrum the amounts of salt we are seeing this year.
I also think all “faith will be restored” at CitCon when CIG shows again some shinies. And that despite most players being fully aware that said shinies will not be delivered or delivered broken as per most similar promotional events in the past.
Also suspect that a big chunk of these “faith restored” proclamations will come from gaslighting non player grey market traders (possibly including money launderers).

Yeah Spectrum has been a salt maelstrom for a long while, and it ain't abating. Pretty much the norm now.
(Ironically it's probably harder for a PR firm to rock up and post 'What are you most excited for?' counter-cope there than on reddit)
Master Modes was a big negative hit for morale.
It seems to me each year the pre-con blues gets bigger and bigger, but as soon as the con is over, its all back to sunshine and roses for a few months at least until they once again realize CIG will not deliver on most of what they have shown.
Every year the Charlie Brown football meme becomes more relevant.
And it's not just backers with morale struggles...
Hot Gossip:
Our friend reckons a bunch of Turbulent devs are heading out the door now that hiring is picking upelsewhere in the industry generally. Outside of artists a lot of the original dev hires have either left the building, or are about to...

Any specific reasons offered by our friend for that?
Poor employee conditions/treatment at CIG? Recent staff dismissals concerns? Overall project viability concerns? All of the above?
Imagine being in the industry and thinking CIG is a good choice of employer.
I wonder how many of these new hires are backers of the project who went and took a C++ course on coursera and now consider themselves to be senior devs.
Sounds like me from the wording that they are being shown the door.
EDIT: I hear its a very nice space door.
No specifics. Beyond: 'CIG'.
Nope they're saying it's dev choice in this case.
(By hiring picking up they mean choice of positions in other companies being on the up etc)
A good few of Turbulent's recent(ish) senior game dev/programmer/engineer/production hires that they enticed or poached from Ubisoft/Eidos etc, were extremely dissatisfied when Beausejour and Turbulent's top table management sold out any chance of future studio autonomy or independence in favour of a Ci~G buyout. A few of them walked out when that was announced a year or so ago... one or two of them very publicly announcing their dissatisfaction on social media.
Seems like the trend isn't abating any time soon

Yeah I saw some meaty LinkedIn leavers after the merger, and it's def been a theme on Glassdoor too.
One of the noteable ones was Annie... with the blue hair...(can't remember her surname for the life of me) a senior producer at Turbulent who appeared on one of Disco Hobo's 'Introduction to Turbulent' feature videos a couple of years ago. She practically pilloried Ci~G on social media after she took the walk.
