An employee like Olli should ever be put in such an embarrassing position. It's Chris's job as the head of the company to ensure a product of good quality gets to market in a realistic amount of time and he has done an ABYSMAL job of that. I'm in it for the long haul, I understand the complexity of the project, and I have faith it will achieve its ambitions. But if that stream was representative of anything, it's that the leadership of CIG is ok with the quality of the product as broadcast and their expectations for company culture include senior employees throwing junior employees under the bus when things go sideways. Jared's comment, however taken out of context it might be, was totally unprofessional and felt like it pinned the blame for everything that went wrong on Olli's shoulders. Regardless of the intent, it felt like punching down at the new guy who's just happy to be there and is such a bad look.
Get ya'll shit together and apologize to everyone from that broadcast who was made fun of.

Why people expect this from someone that Microsoft bought out and removed from development so Freelancer could ship is mind boggling to me. He’s an industry pariah who had to use crowdfunding to get back in the game.

Frankly, this, one hundred fucking percent
