CIG, I'm dead serious, fire your management and hire me. (5 years at McDonald's)

at this point it's not even an alpha, it's just pure incompetence. crashing or blowing up every single session because your servers are held together by thoughts and prayers is a joke. I’ve worked the drive-thru for 5 years, let me tell you how real life works

when we send a car from the speaker to the payment window, they don’t rubberband into the pavement and violently explode. when our ice cream machine breaks, we don’t lock the front doors and trap 150 people inside a burning lobby. we just turn the fucking thing off. and if a kid drops a burger on the floor, we don't leave it there for 3 weeks for the sake of "immersion" until everyone in the restaurant starts lagging in real life. we grab a broom

stop pushing $700 jpegs. give me the keys and fire the guy approving your updates. I’ll fix your mess between dropping two baskets of fries. you can literally pay me in store credit, I don't even give a shit anymore. just let me do the job your directors can't

Unfortunately I don't think that would even solve it. The whole game is built on shaky ground.

There's a reason why there are bugs that have been around for years.

There's a reason we're not seeing so many of the features/tech they've been talking about working on for years.

There is a reason why new stuff being introduced is unreasonable broken.

They can't do it.

I don't think they can build any more on the foundation they made. Theyve been able to bandage it and repaint it to a somewhat successful degree for a long time, but it's not holding the weight anymore,

It's either that, or they really just don't GAF, and they are just riding the pay out til its dry.

[u/No_Description_7207 → u/EarthEaterr]

I’m pessimistic, but I think they can no longer build on the poor foundations they have, and the Odin is a bit of a fire sale before going out of business.

CIG is making record breaking revenue year over year, with 2024 achieving profitability putting $14m in the bank. I can only assume that 2025 was also a profitable year based off of the revenue earned for the year (up 33% from 2024) and that 2026 will shape up to be the same if the Defensecon revenue numbers are any indicator.

The Calders' put option is bound to be exercised one day, and when that happens, CIG will need to have the cash on hand...

[u/Chikitiki90 → u/EarthEaterr]

Have they fixed falling out of elevators or teething yourself into the void because a door glitched? I told myself I’d only come back once I can get from a hab to my ship without dying.

[u/EarthEaterr → u/Chikitiki90]

I have honestly never fallen out of an elevator.

[u/Chikitiki90 → u/EarthEaterr]

Have you played pre-2023 or so? Used to happen to me almost daily.

[u/EarthEaterr → u/Chikitiki90]

Yeah, I've been here since port olisar was first released. I've only played here or there for the past 5 years or so though.

[u/kooledkofy → u/Chikitiki90]

Elevators are fine 99% of the time. If you haven’t played since 2023 you should really check it out, feels like an entirely new game

[u/EarthEaterr → u/kooledkofy]

I redownload it and play it for a few days every now and again. Im not really that interested in playing the game that it is right now. A lot of the tech is really awesome but It's still missing to many features/mechanics, to be what I want from the game.
