Well, his employee status might just be as fake as any con presentation.

Maybe they can find a competent CEO.
Yes, but who are "they"?
The backers? After all, they do pay CIG's wages!
Oh, wait, they have no power over the company unlike traditional investors.
Sucks to be them!
Shame if he has gone, I liked Todd Papy
Seems like the more likable ones are the ones most likely to go. Remember Wingman?
And who gets to stay? Disco "most smarmy CM ever" Landrover.
Hobo Lando isn't part of the dev staff though, he's sales and marketing through the medium of community advertising. I'm not a fan of him personally...but folks in general seem to like his sometimes irreverent take on things star citizen. He does have moments when he goes off the company script that are worth a note now and then
He did a little off the cuff speech after SC Live last week (speaking personally and not as a Ci~G representative) mentioning the mass layoffs (5,000 or so since January this year in the gaming industry alone) and giving a supporting shout out to those devs effected by it across the gaming industry as a whole. Thought that was a nice unscripted touch.

He's probably resigned, then.Shame if he has gone, I liked Todd Papy. He tried his best for the PU when he was director of live services...not to be of course since his resource budget and manpower were persistently wasted away on Sqn 404
He certainly wasn't happy, it was plain every time he appeared on some video content leading up to this year
If he really has slid off, then US down-sizing might explain it. If he got a 'move to the UK' restructuring ultimatum he could easily have just cashed out his chips instead.
Which would put all of this in the 'nothing special' category re CIG upheavals in many ways.
(Just means the new guy will have to get up to speed on all the buzz words

I'm sure he took extra care they are all in a good spot and don't need his expertise anymore to be delivered.
Damn.

Isn't that Apostle Benoit's job now as Chief Tech?
Full Robertsian Physics, as promised.
Looks like Todd is just liking someone elses laying off message...that message isn't his. He was never a level designer for one, he was the director of live services and the PU

Yep that's this Linkedin post from earlier:
Oh interesting timing... from a Level Designer in Austin...
(He's one of the many student / zero experience hires, so I won't link direct. I'm sure anyone who really wants to find it can find it though).
EDIT: Bonus colour....

Todd liked it, along with a bunch of other ex and current Austin & Turbulent lot in the main. (Didn't think much of Todd's nod at the time
)
