The wording of that missive is... quite preposterous:
"With the appointment of Sandi Gardiner and Marc Nitsche, Cloud Imperium’s Board of Directors now consists of six members, including Chris Roberts, Ortwin Freyermuth, Erin Roberts, and Eli Klein. Chris Roberts retains full control of the Cloud Imperium Board and Group."
So does this mean the other directors are lame ducks or puppets?
I noted he said Grenades were house rule banned for the Op so at least that explains that
Oh my!
The holy trinity has manifested - Taxation, Geneva, Cayman Islands, and the handbag ascends in a glory of Lamp illuminated community-funded non-delivery.
And we still don't have any games
Probably means he has 51% of the voting stock.
Still, the point of having a board is to have a range of directorial input, not just a group of yes men. And we don't know what strings the Calder money came with so he either directly or through his proxies may have some control over CR.... or at least we can hope.
i think he means the antics and the presentation of the streamer, conveniently wrapped in merchandise.
i'm afraid that's what appeals to a majority of the twitch audience though. it's what can happen when kids grow up in front of a screen, watching mass produced entertainment: they just don't grow up.
Ooh now this I might probably have to grudgingly give a click to. We recently “guested” a supposedly prominent streamer and the live audience was both not only not old enough to have left school, but direly rude.
Directors voting rights (normally 1 vote each) are completely independent of shareholdings. Often, directors don't even own shares. For CIG to say CRoberts retains full control of the Board is probably just an example of CIG being clueless.
Unless CIG's articles of association or company constitution give veto powers to CRoberts over any board decision. Nothing would surprise me with CIG these days.
Welcome to the top of the pyramid Sandi!
And as a new board member, rest assured your husband retains full control of you.

I'm sure CIG is going to use her to attract more gamer girls so they can attract more gamer bois as they start taking advantage and selling to the Second Life crowd. Now that they have worked over and disappointed the space sim crowd.
I see the space sim and universe elements wanning since they cant achieve them and really seeing a slide to sleazy / sexy social digi life. Bigger focus on cosmetics and clothes, interactions and emotes. Living spaces / furniture etc. This is all just speculation obviously.

Well, since most of the members are people loyal to CR, he would probably retain control regardless.
First rule of money train. Never stop or derail money train.
They who control the shares, control the board. They get to appoint the directors and they get to fire them. Directors do their thing but if they do it wrong they usually dont do it long. There is also the thing that you just can pick docile directors.

Because the idea that outside of a thread where people are obsessed with the failure of this game that anyone else really cares is such an odd concept.
What does a AAA director take home these days?
I’m guessing whatever they fancy.

Fair enough, I wasn't going to sit through 3hrs+ of gaming video, so no doubt missed this.
Which is going to be fun when the servers can take more than 50 people so they can't fill the population.

TBH, As much as I hate them, house rules need to be put into staged or planned events to avoid broken game mechanics running riot (for example, the 'no premium ammo/engineering tournaments' that permeate throughout ED, or the 'no fire in charge' rule that Mount and Blade Napoleonic and Holdfast groups generally adhere to).
