Screen Rant writes, "Star Citizen celebrates its anniversary and $200 million crowdfunding milestone by letting everyone play the game and all of its ships for free."
A recent new feature added to Star Citizen appears to have gone down like a lead balloon
Changed it to that right before the sale of ships…they’ll change it back after
How about they release the promised single player game mode. People been waiting years for that original promise.
Today Cloud Imperium Games released a new trailer of the growing space simulator Star Citizen.
Last month, the entirety of Texas ground to a halt after a colossal winter storm pushed the state’s cordoned-off power grid to the brink. Power and heat outages, as well as resulting food and water shortages, led many businesses to temporarily shut down. This included a large number of Texan video game studios. Of those that did not, however, one stands out: Cloud Imperium Games, whose employees’ confidence in the company remains shaken after they spent the week trying to juggle work and survival.
“CIG is saddened to hear these allegations from the anonymous sources,” a company spokesperson said in an email. “Our staff’s safety and well-being are a priority to us at all times. The Austin offices have remained closed to general staff since the beginning of the pandemic, with teams working from home. In the immediate aftermath of the Texas storm, studio leadership reached out to all 100+ Austin employees through their managers and individually to offer support; and continues to do so with actionable assistance for all of those who were affected.”
That's a shitty response. First they throw shade on the whole thing by highlighting "anonymous sources", but they don't bother to say that they are looking into the "allegations". People already have a ton of distrust for CIG and piss-poor management of situations like this doesn't help.
They should focus on making a game that’s actually playable instead of pushing dlc at a cost of hundreds or thousands of dollars
Well guess what? You just pulled landscaping duty. Anybody else's fingers hurt? Hmph, I didn't think so.
Apparently they just had to clock in(from home) without any work expected from them and can expect to be fully paid anyway.
Why? Whats one week of lost productivity for a game thats never going to be finished anyway?
"Lifestyle." Hmm....
Is that another modern word for *SCAM?*
Company is so rich from those expensive ships, that they are allowing gamers to play them for free for a very limited time. How generous.
Well it's true, being a sugar daddy is a lifestyle.
Being a crack addict is also a lifestyle.
