What's the point? It's not like the people who still put money into this scam are going to be turned off by yet more undelivered promises.

Sounds like a great two weeks to spend talking to recruiters and interviewing.

Unfortunately par for the course in game development.

Yeah but leave it to journos to never miss a chance to shit on star citizen for clicks. I seriously doubt they actually care.

Half the time I make the mistake of giving them a click it's lazy unresearched shit... CIG has a lot of problems for sure, but "the media" loves to profit off of SC bashing.

Seems fine. They're providing food, overtime pay, and pto for use at a future date. That's a better deal than a lot of employees get. Obviously this isn't how I think we should do work/living, but that's about as fair of a compromise as you're going to see in this particular industry at this time unless you're extremely lucky.

Who okayed this article? It's just a signal boost of the Inside Gaming article with nothing new added besides anti-Cloud Imperium fluff. Also, they actually misrepresent the lieu time given, conflating the Citizencon lieu time for the Squadron 42 lieu time that has a restriction on when it can be used. As far as the original article goes, there aren't any know restrictions on the former.
