You know, poor america, no free health care. You need money and a job.
Should he start working at mcdonalds?
Huh? I never said that he should work at McDonalds to make end meet, nor advocating such.
I was just trying to figure out why one of the most important members of the CiG team, the Art Director no less, has suddenly left one of the biggest gaming projects in recent history, and effectively jumped ship to another studio.
I mean, you get changes of personnel at gaming companies, heck all companies, I get that. But an Art Director? The guy who is effectively responsible for how the "visual language" of the game translates from the sketchbook/tablet out on to the screen as an effective, eye-catching final product? He just ups and leaves at seemingly the drop of a hat?
That can't be seen as a "oh well, it's just one of those things" kind of situations.... This is someone who is a vital cog amongst the creative foundations of the entire Star Citizen project, someone who was trying to bring together all the visual work being done by multiple studios to make into a unified, organized, whole.
That type of person is hard to replace at the best of times. I suppose CiG could promote from within, bringing up one of the more senior artists working on the game into that position. But are there any guarantees that they will be able to organize the team in the same way, have the same vision, be as effective at this roles as Skelton might have been?

Actually to be fair he said in his leaving letter it was due to travelling to LA a lot that was the reason for his decision. That was affecting his family etc. Bluepoint Games are in Austin.
That's fair enough, but still it's a pretty hefty loss for CiG to try and re-organize around.
