This is a much better reflection of CIG's culture and competence than the original photo. Sometimes you just need a few subtle enhancements to make the subject really pop.

Well, Dr. Derek did say that there was no way this could be done with less than 150m. We're 9 million away from having a viable budget for an ambitious project.

What about all the millions Chris and Sandi took as salary?

Fun-time is over.
"marketing" doesn't mean just ads, in this case any work that is primarily there to bring in more backer money but will not end up in the game is marketing. All the time spent redoing ships five times to add fidelity, and making sandworms and gamescom demos that are mysteriously unavailable in the PU would count as "marketing", they're there to bring in more backers but aren't actually moving the game forwards in any meaningful way. A TON of work goes into these scripted demos that go nowhere.

I felt like it was missing a super important piece of signage that is almost definitely hanging around at least one of the studio offices.

Don't forget people like Swofford likely takes some ridiculous salary, people like him don't work for free and I expect he milks CIG for every penny he (and his various business interests out side of CIG) can.

He's ex-EA and has an extensive background in PR (bullshitting to sell poo poo in large quantities) so he knows a thing or two about lacking morals. :)

On a more serious note, I wonder how this move will effect their loyal streamers.
Like how is relay and WTFsaurus gonna react, knowing that CIG will basically be taking their show.

Yeah I agree. There is no way in hell that mocap for this lavish production cost $10-15 million.

He's probably wrong about the mocap but the "marketing" numbers sound right considering all the tech demos masquerading as gameplay footage, ConCitizen, paid-for streamers and in-game commercials we've seen.
