Wage expenses generally go up during layoffs due to severance payments. Trying to extrapolate headcount from wage expenses is not very accurate.

shrach posted:What is interesting is that the rumours of cutting back in staff numbers seem untrue. If anything they are increasing staff numbers in the UK exponentially. Foundry 42 Ltd employed an average of 221 people in 2016 which rose to an average of 284 people in the first six months of 2017. Wages in 2016 totalled some £9.8m but the first six months of 2017 totalled £6.05m. They have been fairly consistent with an average gross salary (inc ER's NI) of around £45k per employee. The Derby office went from 3 people to a full studio in a new office building this past year.

There's a lot of joking about not understanding game development but I'll bleach my rear end twice if I can look at Star Citizen and fathom what 300+ people all theoretically bent to the same task are getting up to all day for years on end. I guess roll out the comments about producing commercials or trashing their work over and over due to insane micromanagement without a clear vision. Still seems absolutely baffling when it becomes clear that no one at the top even knows what the HUD looks like, they clearly didn't micromanage that. It's enough to make you write more than a single line poo poo joke out of pure confusion.

There are commenters under Streetroller's video that think they need to defend CIG/RSI. This shows such a lack of faith in CIG/RSI, it's almost heretical.

PederP posted:Wage expenses generally go up during layoffs due to severance payments. Trying to extrapolate headcount from wage expenses is not very accurate. Except that there is zero extrapolation of headcount. We get both an independent audited figure for the total amount of wages and also an independent audited figure for the average number of employees. I just added that dividing one audited figure by the other audited figure has shown they maintain an average of around £45k per employee consistently for each of the three accounting periods.

Chris himself said that if funding were to stop then they could finish Squadron 42 and use the funding to finish Star Citizen. Well, it looks like funding were to stop.

shrach posted:Foundry 42 Ltd filed their accounts today. These are early, since they reduced the accounting period. They cover the six month period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017.  video game tax credit that backers were harping to be the guarantee for the loan actually decreased this year.   also they are thinking about paying employee's with shares.  it would explain the increase of shares in cloud imperium games UK. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08815227/filing-history

Then Ben, Director of Spaceships basically stated he would do an exhaustive investigation on where the seat went. Eight months later he came up with the fact that the person who would know the answer has left the company so therefore no definitive resolution. What a company.

Dark Off posted:foundry 42 is being owed 1.5 million if im reading this correctly right? No, that's a creditor. They owe that £1.5m. It may be a loan (or overdraft) that is due for repayment within one year (possibly to be replaced by a fresh new Coutts loan). It's not worth speculating really. The tax credits are an asset, shown in debtors. It stood at over £5m as at June 2017. Which was comprised of the entire 2016 tax credits and then calculated six months (£3.3 + £1.8 = £5.1m). Don't forget this is six months, not a year, so it has actually increased in line with the increased costs (wage/employee increase).

The beauty of this is how it could be invisible in the accounts. Say the company bought back shares for £2m from the current shareholders and then the company sold shares for £2m to excited new investors, the company accounts could actually show no change because the two figures would net off to zero. I think we'll have to wait and see though, might be a little too brazen.
