OK, wow that ATV was beyond horrible. Did CIG's budget for ATV went to poo poo?

Other little things:

1) Sandi not listed as Producer (I’m not sure if she is on episodes she doesn’t co-host but I was surprised.)

2) Ben, the “Master of Ships”, is a no show, and only gets brief mention as a lot of other employees talk about “where ships come from.” Looking pretty certain now that the “save the Wing Commander animated cels from their pending destruction” GoFundMe campaign was his “Friends of Chris” exit package from full time employment. He got the full Ladyman sendoff so probably can’t complain.

3) Chris, just as pleased as punch as he congratulates himself on the realization of his childhood dream... to sell lovingly detailed ships, ships that have absolutely everything you could possibly imagine, in a game with absolutely crap all to do. He has no shame that he got no game. It’s incrddible.

I have one of these. Don't use it because I get seasick. Besides, it's an embarrassing display of conspicuous consumption that overshadows my enlightened qualities.

I put a mortar in the well deck to shell the coast. Unfortunately, I don't get to see the people I kill but feel good doing God's work. Making the world a better place.

Siphoning surplus value and spending it to modify social structures to funnel more unearned value my way, killing or imprisoning all that oppose.

I feel like it's the kind of workplace where promotions are given out to people who have earned it by:

1. showing up for work the day after someone else quit/got fired ("we need someone to do this job"), and
2. being relatively unknown ("we don't know you can't do this job...yet").

Being a consistent Bearer of Bad News, the intern assigned to report on this thread is never going to clear that second hurdle. Sorry, thread intern; you got suckered into doing the one job at CIG with no upward mobility.

I wonder if the leaderboards are bugged somehow, because the latest usage numbers are disastrous.

Star Marine average concurrent users: 9.8
Arena Commander average concurrent users: 7.8
Murray Cup average concurrent users: 2.5

Total for all EA modes: 20.0

That is lower than the end of 2.6.3 while 3.0 was in PTU, and represents a roughly 50% drop from the numbers at the start of 3.0 live.

This report covers the 6 days from Jan 13 to Jan 19.

So a producer from CIG got hired away by CSE for Camelot Unchained (and CSE just landed a big investment.) Can’t tell who the new hire is, though.

“MassivelyOP” posted:

You’ve already seen the first stages of that, as CSE’s brought in a new producer (fresh off Star Citizen, incidentally), a new community manager, and an animator-and-a-half in recent weeks, in addition to engineers (he’s particularly proud of the animator, as CSE sought new blood on that task in response to donor feedback). The company’s headhunters now have clearance to go ham on building out both studios to capacity to speed up the timeline (within reason, of course; Jacobs is well aware that not everything scales perfectly just by throwing people and money at it).

quote:

Beta when? Launch when?
Jacobs told me his leads are in final discussion on “when” with the new producer right now. Expect the announcement in the next few weeks and beta soon. How soon? “Sooner, rather than later, this year.” It’s close. And when it hits beta, it will be a real beta, so don’t expect a soft launch or early access/pre-alpha shenanigans. “We don’t want to go down that path,” he told me. “We’re still going to beta one the exact same way we said we were going to do it so that people will actually have fun and actually want to come in and test.”

At this point, to be a producer at CIG aren't the requirements shockingly low? Like what, a high school diploma or GED and 3 months at Gamestop or Best Buy? If you have 6 months at best buy or a degree from Full Sail they make you a senior producer and give you shares of the company too (probably).

That tracker is vital for CIG since, given the delays and state of the game, it is probably and single handedly maintaining the last line of defense for backer confidence. I don’t think it will disappear with the new web unless there is some kind of external oficial enquiry or pressure about its representation or lack thereof.
