Nuclearmonkee posted:So it's good then? I'll pick it up when I get home since it's so cheap. It looks a little rough, and the menu system is gonna confuse the gently caress out of you at first because it's extremely cluttered.. but yeah it's fun as gently caress. Every weapon and craft is customizable. Servers are 64 players. I didn't notice much lag.

Sandi posted:It was also alleged that Roberts' wife and Cloud Imperium Games Vice President of Marketing Sandi Gardiner enforced discriminatory hiring practices. CS1 reported that they were instructed to, first, check the education field on a prospective employee's resume. If too much time had passed, Gardiner reportedly informed people not to hire them, because "they may be over 40, which makes them a protected class and harder to fire." It was also claimed that Gardiner used race as a determining factor in selecting employees, allegedly once saying "We aren't hiring her. We aren't hiring a black girl." Well drat I thought for sure that part of the Glassdoor reviews was fake because nobody is going to open themselves up to lawsuits like that. Chris, you need to fire that woman or prepare to spend the next two years losing court cases.

Reddit's response to the Escapist Article is predictable but still really funny.

The Article posted:CS7 indicated that Cloud Imperium Games Montreal entered into a joint venture partnership with Turbulent to continue to develop and sell the crowdfunding platform that was built for Star Citizen to other companies - and that backer money was being used for this project. HEAP C3MS is described as "the first platform to combine content, community, and commerce within one integrated platform," and was used for the design of the RSI website. Oh good we crowdfunded a crowdfunding engine that is now being sold.

Quite the article. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/features/14715-CIG-Employees-Talk-Star-Citizen-and-the-State-of-the-Company "She would write emails with so much profanity. She would call people stupid, retard, human being. Accuse men of not having balls. And she was incredibly hostile to other female employees," CS4 stated. "Sandi is very jealous. She has to be the queen bee at the company. Whenever I was around her, I felt like I was in the presence of a cobra who, at that moment, might not have been inclined to strike but was completely willing to. You don't get on her bad side," CS3 added. "There were two things you were told, when you were hired. One, you don't talk about [Roberts and Gardiner] being married, to anyone. Ever. And two, you don't make Sandi mad."

EminusSleepus posted:you need not to go far just read the spergs comments here --> http://bit.ly/1JGDSxA Wow, you're right. The first one is especially nice:   Unless of course the guys real name is "Gaz Instone". edit: actually I'm not sure if I get the guys comment, I can't quite parse it. edit 2: I guess Gaz is a sort of common eastern European name? Learn something new every day, but the guy still is a dick for white knighting CIG. KiddieGrinder fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Oct 1, 2015 |

http://www.escapistmagazine.com posted:There was a grim and near-universal feeling of guilt that almost all of the people who spoke out shared. "You have to ask 'at what point are you taking advantage of someone?' There's a certain responsibility," CS3 said in regards to the backers who have contributed large sums of money. "Like, I felt like we should have gone to their homes and made sure their kids were eating and dressed. It starts to feel like a gambling addiction after a certain point. It was hard not to feel guilty." Let's not even get into the eventual suicides.

SC is a wonderful nightmare. Every time you think “wow, now we really have strayed into hyperbole”, something comes out that makes the old seem entirely sensible in comparison. I made a glib comparison with Enron in the old thread but at this point it's really getting eerily similar, in terms of style and attitude if not in terms of scope.

"She was the queen bee. It was like being around a cobra," sounds like something Zapp Brannigan would say.
