I wouldn't count on it. They like to put the carts before the horses usually.

I wouldn't be surprised if different departments have no idea what the others do. I can imagine the handwaving is strong in internal meetings too.
And you probably know how hard it is to handle code of others, even when not a mess. So... Development will probably start when Turbulent starts it.

The rumors can also of course be all made up. Either by the Agent himself or the persons sending them.
1, 5 and 6, if all assumed to be true for the sake of the exercise, sound as if personnel are being moved from being employed by CIG to being employed by Turbulent to then be contracted to CIG to develop SC under Turbulent Management and direction
Always possible. But the way TheAgent has discussed the process (and the hits he's had) makes his stuff all welcome intrigue to me
I mean, I guess you could fire out a ton of fabricated absurdities and somehow hit on outlier stuff like AMD parterning with CIG again. But it's a bit of a long-shot.
Personally I can very much believe that CIG is pretty chaotic internally about its mid-term goals, and that they probably have a fraught time predicting their own behaviour as it is
. Let alone communicating it to the outside world from silo-ed internal perspectives. (Add in the doubtless trolling that Agent would likely receive along the way, and it doesn't make for cast-iron journalism or anything )Best to take it as a bit of fun, with some possible truths bouncing around inside it. A fireside drink with the Crobear. It doesn't have to always make sense
It's interesting just how consistent the Turbulent stuff has been recently though. And how stuff like Turbulent dialling up gaming recruitment specifically for SC has continued to tally with that
Absolutely
Development reboot coming!
Development only really started in 2020 when Turbulent took over!

That is what i think too. Where he talked about new investment money raised my eyebrow. Record funding for CIG this year and they need more money? For what? Even if they need more Money i don’t think the Calders where that naiv and giving them again money without any returnings.
I almost daren't ask but what is a 'Buy Back Token'?
Guessing by the fact that Q4 BBT was released / available on the first Monday in Q4 that it somehow involves CIG being given cash for something that doesnt yet exist?
I been watching these but realise Im actually helping the viewer count
Then again if he gets 2x as many views for looking at it just a tiny bit more honestly.....

What does your heart tell you?Ignoring everything else. Isnt this basically true? Ive heard this many times from many places, working on someone elses code is a nightmare, working on someone esles code from 5 years ago...may as well rewrite and start again. The more hands involved the more complicated it gets, one change here stops 100,000 lines of code working elsewhere for some reason.
That you really wanted that Javelin

From my limited experience yes it is a nightmare work on someone else's code unless that other person maybe has ocd and is very neat.
I left behind a huge mess too but hey management wanted me to work faster and outsource parts to india XD
Nah..I've met and chatted with that particular Viajero in game...he's an ex Elite player too though...strangely enough
Essentially when you take on an 'engine' and/or an existing API or whatever you are using someone elses code, so it depends on how well documented it is. CryEngine was "someone elses code" but came with fairly good doc
When you hire new devs, they generally come with the "it all needs a rewrite" attitude in my experience.

Well, couldn’t actually get the Legatus pack so this is the next best thing I suppose!That you really wanted that Javelin
That sounds exactly like when I have a plumber come round to service the boiler. The first thing they do is suck air through their teeth, shake their head and ask "Who serviced this last time?"
