Star Citizen Devs Confirm Some Layoffs As Part Of A 'Restructuring,' Relocation Appears To Be A Factor | MMORPG.com
Yesterday we reported on the rumors that Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games had laid off key members of the team, in part due to relocation efforts. A rep from the studio confirmed the reports, stating that it was part of "restructuring."

Let's see if they reply regarding the exact number of people laid off.
Their answer about efficiency when people are together is something I've wondered before, 5 studios working on the same project across multiple timezones that's a fun one to manage, one office starts work hours as the other is ending them.
I'd also say the financial situation is also facing pressure, they employ... a truckload of people. It feels they did overreach on growth a bit, and income is struggling to sustain increasing costs in the order of dozens of millions per year.
Ok, I'll play......what does it mean to you if they do or don't? How does their reply mean nothing? If you are saying you got nothing from their reply, to me that screams a lack of comprehension skill on your part.
Pretty simple, every other gaming company explicitly mentions the number/percentages of employees affected.
It took sleuthing by 3rd parties for CIG to even recognize the layoffs.
Now you connect the dots.
It's based on that I said last year 2024 would see layoffs, especially after the turbulent aquisition, they been spending a truckload of money, and their investment on fancy new big offices on the EU kinda telling on where they want people.
On the cases that happened is because there was a significant downsize to the point the company's leads do announce it to their workforce, as a way to mitigate internal concerns/panic.
If what we see here a more progressive restructuring, eliminating positions that have been or are being either moved or absorbed into another studio, even if that means less people or cheaper to have the same position elsewhere, then that's seems to be a more common situation.
It's not the first time they've done this, resulting in a studio being hit by layoffs as others grew.
Never mentioned anything about this year is the last one.
But you do you!
I am pretty sure the recognition of the layoffs, was them initially doing the thing, the laying off. As well, when MMORPG reached out, they acknowledged them. What more do they need to do? What dots are we supposed to connect? BTW you didn't answer my questions. Can you do so before not answering these, please.
Also.....come on yo, if you are gonna be an edgelord can't you put in a little effort? This took me 45 secs
I remember you ...
..I remember you from three thousand years ago, tell us all how in just few shy years, SC will be released.
I believe that was before 2020. Maybe 2018 or fine..2019. That's .. around 5 years ago.
And...they have yet to release anything but Alpha 3.whatever.
If by few shy years you meant like .. few shy ...light years, then ok, no worries. They still have 1 light year left..and a bit!
Have fun ( I believe this was your signature?
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Also SC is going for the lifetime achievement award development-wise, so that's what we sign up for!
"....is going for the lifetime achievement award development-wise"
HAHAHAHAHAHA
..and I'm sure that was your line "Have fun" .. or the other guy! I know you are like 2 in here who are "long term SC fans".
Long term ...
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Wouldn't that make you a "long term SC hater"? Ironic indeed
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
LMAO, call it what you want.....but you've def been here being all skeptical for a long time. Pssst, BTW it took all of 4 mins to find some of your cave scratching's spanning back to 2020. That's a lot of skepticism, for something one could only guess you're not supporting, don't plan on playing...... you ok?
Looking forward to your next edgy comment.....in the next IceAge! /\ this is you, right?
It's game related news.
