Do you mean this is in a negative or positive way?

Somewhat of a meaningless post.

If you follow the party line in a public manner, it’ll help you suck up to management. If you publicly criticize this decision (especially by highlighting that crunch is product of management failure and incompetence), they’ll immediately start looking for PR-friendly reason to fire you.

The difference here is star citizen devs are well compensated and given time in lieu

How did you come to this conclusion? IIRC their salaries are below average.

Agreed, but this is Star Citizen, even from a neutral perspective; a pretty sketchy project run by a sketchy organization (CIG).

EDIT: Clarification

They are not paying directly. As per the article you can get additional PTO days in the future, albeit only after Squadron 42 is released (whenever that’s going to happen) and if you are still with the company.

A pretty sketchy approach.

I haven’t played “A Legionary’s Life”, but “Never Second in Rome” seems like what is essentially a sequel.

Unfortunately, I would have to agree.

Played the demo from Next Fest; graphics were really good and unique, gameplay had potential, but felt like it needed more refinement.

It is.

They need to add James Bond of the Pierce Brosnan to the game.

With a free-form design/builder game, you’re asking for disappointment if you are going to compare yourself to other players.

If the game is relatively popular, there will always be insane designs that you will difficult to match.
