Amazing how close OP is to the true answer, but he just... can't... quite.... get.... there. The people at CIG, for all of their flaws, aren't stupid. CIG knew this backlash was a big possibility. CIG just desperately needed the money. These backers are so close to the truth....

So I just popped in to see how many days CIG has managed to go on the "XX days since CIG hosed up" chart and... :doh:



Oh my dear god, would you just look at all that fuckery. :classiclol:



Well, guess the chart needs resetting back to "0 Days since CIG hosed up" then.

Remember when everything was supposed to be fixed in 2.0, then 2.1, then 2.2 and so on until we arrived at the current wasteland that is 2.6 and everything's still broken as hell?

I got to say, it is rather interesting to see all of the new jobs posted in the last week or so: https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs.

New postings include over half a dozen artist positions as well as Producer and rear end't Producer jobs in LA. Any guesses if this is due to folks quitting or because CIG is ramping up its employee numbers to try and meet their new schedule?

CIG doesn't have a manpower problem.

1. Their management is poo poo. But they aren't gonna fire themselves

2. They hired a ton of people who literally can't do things. Its not that there arent enough people, its that they don't have the expertise to get anything done. This is because you pay below average, you get the fuckups and new college kids.

Best part:

"People getting a referral want a game now, not in one, two, or even three years from now"

This is light years ahead of where shitizens were 6 months ago. 6 months ago 3.0 was dropping in December 2016, Netcode would make the game practically finished and better than anything else on the market. SQ42 would be out in 2017 and millions of new commandos would populate the verse.

Fast forward 6 months. The game is now clearly 2-3 years out. You'd think that would be mentally crushing for these folks.

I found it while looking for that mess of a referal thingy, so I could belly laugh...

Then I saw them scheduling, the resulting belly laugh nearly loving killed me :D I can't work out if they are being serious or just making something poo poo up on the spot to have a template, pretty sure they are being serious. :eyepop:

They just released the 3.0 schedule, closed the classic forums, and started the referral contest. Also, somebody posted that downvotes on the reddit/starcitizen forum on any negative posts seem like a social media management company may be involved.

I can't wait for that ELE to be real Derek.
