Too bad Crytek doesn't pay their employees

Looking forward to what it can do. I just hope its good enought to stop those constant console ports.

MasterMace, is that still going on? Thought that was over. Licensing for development of lumberyard from Amazon fixed their financial issues.

One of the nice things is that all the money into star citizen is partly being fed back into the cryengine (obviously the license cost, but more importantly) as the SC devs are making and forcing updates on the cryengine(most of the stuff they do isn'tt fed back, but some are as they ask for more engine support or fix a bug in the engine) and improving it. Since SC is really pushing the engine requirements, that feeds back nicely into engine improvements(though I imagine they are low several key devs now lol)
Some good and bad, but I like the c# scripting support, my fav language despite the .net libraries being almost required to use it.
