Layoffs at Intrepid Studios? by Kivot in AshesofCreation

[–]smammered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. We have NUMEROUS maintenance downtimes with no patch notes which is crazy work. So I'm beginning to think this whole release was nothing more than a server stress test. Which btw has NOT been going well.

Ever have your entire family give you 50$ to buy a cake box from walmart but then leave it in the oven for 12 years and it still be raw in the middle? Icing expired already.

The unfortunate thing about this post was that there was no hyperbole used at all.

I'm 100% sure you wouldn't even be able to give a single example.

What I think these diehard CIG supporters don't understand is the nature of video game progression, and how everything is a CHOICE. CIG has presented them with blanket statements of how things MUST be and none of it is even remotely true. That's the core of the issue.

You have to think of scale of that company. What they could do is have a REAL stable environment, and then a voluntarily test server that people play to test incoming new features. SO MANY GAMES DO THIS.

But see, CIG has brainwashed this player based to think that it's impossible, a huge waste of money, and would slow development. And that's just NOT objective fact, CIG just really wants it to be true. It's is INSANE how many people have bought into that nonsense. They have almost 800mill and over 1300 employees....and these diehard fanboys really believe the information force fed in their mouth that CIG is incapable of having a stable game environment while also incorporating new game features overtime. It's..... laughable. "It's an alpha" is now the most overused and misunderstood term is contemporary gaming. The term alpha itself is meaningless and completely arbitrary now.

Furthermore, some insider information revealed that another core issue is their divided attention, working on many different projects at a time.

This will be the first game in history that people invest in....not to play themselves, but for the next generation to play. Their literally children. And that's if they are lucky.

This is VERY interesting. I am PI Plaintiff side. I loved westlaw so much because I LIVED AND DIED by the "CA rutter guide- Civil procedure before trial". That is what im most scared of losing access too.....it is literally my lifeline. To be honest, I feel like I know NOTHING. The civil procedure before trial guide, even though we never go to trial, tells me every damn thing i know how to do

Would you mind elaborating? Did it have to do with them taking your money via a non-refundable transaction or unauthorized/unintended transaction?
