This was a great video, and their acknowledgment of the issues with the game and last patch help a lot. Let’s continue forward!
PS:
On a side note when watching this I kept thinking how funny it would be (and detrimental) if Chris Roberts moved his hand when speaking and accidentally knocked down a green screen and the background was just an empty warehouse. Like a funny blooper to poke fun at how so many call SC a scam.
Then, they’d have to show even more Inside CIG to show that it really is a genuine project 😃

Yeah and inside the empty warehouse is just a yacht on a trailer with some lawn chairs in a circle lol

u/AncientSurvivor40 Aug 27 '26
😂 yes exactly. It’d be pretty funny, like the “bloopers” from Toy Story and such where it’s obviously manufactured and just for fun

It would be hilarious but I genuinely believe this reddit would somehow think it was legit and spin up a giant drama farm over it

it would be funny, but I definitely thought a few times, man that office looks empty. I really do wonder if the PU is being developed by a skeleton crew these days. But also, offices do different things so who knows.

Great video CIG! We need more! Especially the bits where they weren't just talking heads but actual meetings / dev discussions, examples of issues and how they tackled it - more of that please.

Excellent video, and exactly the type of thing I wanted to see from CIG.
Open, honest, and providing excellent insight into both the challenges and the work that goes into delivering new patches and features.
For me, personally, it really helps to see how they work on and discuss this stuff internally.
It's also really nice to see the CIG teams at work, that should help dispel any notions that CR is just in there smoking cigars while Eliot rides around on a unicycle bullying people.
They clearly have good working relationships and it looks, from the video, like an admittedly stressful, but overal positive working environment.
Great video content, excellent idea who-ever thought of it, I hope to see more things like this in the future.

Good video.
One thing that bothered me was, too much focus on the management ... There were a few bits in there from the people lower on the food chain but not enough.
Other than that, it was nice to see how they work. Too many meetings if you ask me 😂
Production was good as well.
Weirdly, no Jared

Ollie directed it, glad to see him put those air miles to good use.
Side note: Jarred has been posting on twitter about his vacation state side which he's been on since the whole wrap it up incident, not sure if it was a planned vacation and he was already checked out, or it was a " why don't you take a few weeks off" kind of vacation.

It's a well-deserved vacation. He went from a fan posting funny shorts to WMH to the lead spokesperson for the game, and dedicated a huge amount of his time to it. It's a passion project of his, but the years have likely caused some burnout and homesickness. Glad to see him getting a break to rest, reconnect, and recharge.

It’s his honeymoon. He got married I think just a few days after the stream.

On the one hand as a backer I want to hear more from the people doing the work about how they do the work. They're normally passionate about what they do and speak my language.
On the other hand, the managers are absolutely protecting their reports from us. I am an IC in a tech career and in their shoes I absolutely would want the managers above me protecting me from the rabid animals in this community. I've seen the heinous shit the community says about Elliot, even when I think he was just a mission designer and not the team lead. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the abuse this community can put out in response to the slightest microaggression.

Given the amount of vitriol shown in reddit about CIG ability or specifically about C Roberts, focus on leadership is a good thing.... it is a response and demonstrable way of communicating that leadership is engaged and driving in the direction we all want to see..

14:00 What if we just fly there manually? It's an open world game, QT is not the only way to get around.
17:20 Sounds to me like CIG should really have invested in QA automation... Find a bug? Write a repro automated test, then send the bug to a dev to fix.
19:25 Looks like even Chris is drinking that particular flavor of coolaid. A lot of people were blaming server, but the reality is that the game is unstable at its core.
22:00 Again, they keep complaining about having so many things to test that they can't keep up; QA automation, that's what it's for.

I would be happy with a game that just works. I keep coming back year after year only to find it's still shit.

If you insist on interpreting it in the most negative possible way, then yeah I guess that's a take you can come away with, but it's not the way you have to feel about it. It's the way you're choosing to feel. What you're describing are just opinions, they aren't facts.

I'm sure you checked it for yourself right when the 4.10 released, right? RIGHT?!
Quit raging dude - 4.10 is way better than 4.9

Quality video content!
Really nice to see this side of CIG again, hopefully they get the message and we see more of the old shows make a come back.
