Isn’t Star Citizen that named grift that’s been going on for a decade or so?
So they’re just announcing they have either incompetent product managers, executives who refuse to believe reality, or both.
I hope their developers all find better roles.
For record, as a developer, I have worked many a weekend in my career during crunch. I was never mandated to do so, and I always made up the time afterwards. Only once in my entire career was it 2 weekends in a row, and it’s because it was a big that was because of me.
The email continues that UK employees “need to be mindful of the hours they work and are asked to have 11 hours outside of work in each 24-hour period.”
This is an attempt to stay within working time regulations in the UK but they are violating this bit
By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest: …. between working weeks – 24 hours every 7 working days or 48 hours every 14 working days
By having a 19 day unbroken run which, as I understand it, is not legal.
That’s bad but also the first bit is basically saying “work 13 hour days” which is nuts.
Why don’t they just hire more people with the $700 million they’ve raised?
That also doesn’t work.
Because the owners have grifted all of that away to private accounts already of course.
They have a convention for this vaporware? …And people still go to it?!
Firefall walked so that Star Citizen could run.
