He's seen all the dirty laundry and the corpses in the basement. They keep him on the payroll, he keeps his mouth shut, simple deal.The question is though: Why keep him on the c-suite page if so?
I reckon this is their way of admitting he's no-longer on the PU, while suggesting they're keeping him in-house for his 'valuable knowledge'

To be honest I have seen worse - worked 4 years at one place like that before I jumped when I realised I would be one of the last and likely would get a minimum settlement. I was proved right. Then had it happen three years ago and this time I was in the first batch on the chopping block, but I am still seeing further rounds of exits.
I did little round up of recent layoff odds and ends:

If you listen to the last CitizenCon, they mentioned a lot of times the player driven economy while before there was a different plan. A simulated economy with AI interacting between themselves without any player presence, like what the Stalker series have. I guess this is the reason why they never mentioned in the 1.0 panel any of this even though they frequently used the "living, breathing universe".Some Hater115 Tony gossip from a week back...
Lol. Jared saying things will be slower this year because they're going to use people to fix the game. And they're doing monthly patches to add a story to the game.

NDAs are gonna expire before the game is even released.
The change to focus on bugs is definitely not driven by any Big Streamer experience
Tony Zurovek did exactly the same thing with Ultima Online. He designed a complex economical system very similar (Identical?) to Quanta. But as usual with Tony Z and his inability to work as part of a team due to his abrasive and domineering personality, this was an overly complex system designed and built completely in isolation outside of the main game development...he spent years on it. Just like Quanta, when they tried to merge it into the Ultima game code, it utterly broke everything else and had to be discarded

So, Tony Z repeated what he did with his last big project and Chris is repeating what he did with his last big project.
I'm beginning to see a pattern here
