They aren't hiring 700 staff. Don't believe every guff you're told.

Maybe Jared knows the Feds are on to himm, too. I'd flee to Cuba though.
Nothing is what it seems with CI-G though is it? All those shell companies. Who knows what the hell they are doing with all that backers money. Not giving it to charity, that's for sure.
A game ? You should try SC during the freefly.
No
Yes. I can play the game all day long and not be begged to pledge for something.
My god now that's an absolute wall of text to say nothing other than "CIG Spaceship salesmen, news at 11"
Perhaps they require him to sit infront of a large Squadron 42 plastered wall?
Well, i think i can answer at least part of it, or speculate at least.
Chris likes the trappings of success, therefore big offices full of people is what he wants. He's not thinking about COVID, for him its probably horrible, not being able to walk around the office, looking over people's shoulders, telling them which pixels to change the colour of.
So that's why he'd like Hobo in an office. Why the UK office? Maybe because Chris is going and wants his main yes man by his side? Someone who will nod and agree with everything CR says?
And if it doesn't work?
Tell that to the mayor of Manchester, because that's what he seems to think is happening. I doubt he got that idea without someone telling him it would happen.
Minus the money spent on marketing (and yes, they do external marketing, i get promoted google ads for SC, those don't come for free). Minus the money they give to themselves as dividends. And who knows what else they are spending money on that isn't related to development of the game(s)?
Of course you can. You don't have to give CIG any more money at all.
They do need more money though. Game is still years away from being in a releasable state despite having taken in around half a billion dollars. CIG do need more money. If not your money, then someone else's.
Are you going to rely on others providing the required money? Or will you do your part?
Answer the Call.
The mayor must be a naive person or just someone keen on crapping out bogus success stories about urban business development.
Or, as i said, CR (or someone else from CIG) told him it would create 700 new jobs.
CIGs own statement says as much.
It's a game now? Like a playable and released game? Then certainly it can be reviewed as one!

Fair, you can play “something” indeed. The game has not been completed, never mind released yet though. Far from it. So, as I enquired earlier:
If your answer is no, then that‘d mean Chris Roberts is still, quite literally, begging for our money to be able to do it. 10 years on and 400 millions later he is still begging for our money just to be able to finish what he sold (while getting a nice fat pay check plus dividends for him and his family in the process of course). Wether you or me decide to give it to him or not is pretty much irrelevant to that fact.

Who tells the prime minister all the bogus crap? No, I think the mayor has it's own interest in blowing up a success story.
We had our mayor following though with some big project even though the bank found out the foreign contractor wasn't anything of that global Korean industry conglomerate but only using the name to fake his company up. But it was the World Conference Center, right? So the contracts were signed.
Once the citizens of Manchester find out it's a husk of a building they financed with city money - they mayor will be elsewhere and Robbers, too.
actually it was a wall of text trying to say I was making a joke and I didn't have a point originally
I dont get this line of reasoning.
1) We, as in gamers in general, do review games long before they are officially 'released'. Go to any regular gaming site with an article about SC and you'll find plenty of people giving you their review of the game. Usually in very few words, some or most of them censored.
2) 'Professional' media outlets rarely review games in 'early access', and the definition of EA is simply 'it is EA if the studio calls it such'. The upside for CIG is that there are no official reviews tearing it apart. The downside is that the game is known as "oh, that weird crappy project still in EA after a million years." Its up to the studio to determine if the upside is worth the downside.
As the years go by the "its still early days, its in EA!" becomes less convincing to more and more people and the upside of no professional reviews also diminishes as its reputation in general gaming circles is about as low as it can be anyway. If IGN wrote a piece saying "we officially consider SC to be buggy and shallow with terrible performance" that would change absolutely nobody's mind at all. Some would say:"Its early days!", most will say:"Duh, we know."
But yeah, it is a game that is playable to some extend, and enjoyable to some people. For reasons you can fully disagree with, but there clearly is a game of sorts that people play.
