Except that's not what's happening. They aren't increasing their FTE headcount, just screwing over their contractors to save a quick buck. Nothing to celebrate here except corporate greed.
Something tells me you either haven't played or haven't played in the last few builds.. The game is playable today, it's got a long ways to go before it's finished but it's very playable and very fun.
100% agreed. Nobody could be blamed for not wanting to relocate for a job and it's honestly kinda ridiculous in this day and age that they're requiring them to. Remote work works!
Saw this while I was in a meeting, working from home is great!
Exactly this, the idea that every viewpoint deserves to be respected and given an equal share of attention is false. Racists, homophobes, ect don't deserve to be given a platform to spread their views and down votes are one of the more effective tools a community has to limit those kinds of content.
A beautiful example of how teaching someone new knowledge helps everyone!
I'm late to the conversation here but this exactly my sentiment as well. We're still years from seeing any of the things they showed us actually hit servers that we can play on and experience and then years from them being refined enough to not be a buggy mess that requires wipes every couple patches.
I'm vaguely hopeful that the SQ42 announcement will at least mean a few more resources dedicated to developing for the persistent universe as that's the gameplay I am more interested in but I am also not holding my breath. Feature complete is a pretty vague state for a studio like CI and without a set in stone release date, it doesn't mean much of anything.
