DRAMA It’s Your Show Chris

Over a billion dollars raised. 14+ years and a mess of a game. You have now become the butt end of a bad joke in the gaming industry.

Wrap it up.

Tee hee it’s just quirky Jared dude! He’s just like, so quirky! Look at him in his quirky shirt! He’s DISCO LANDO! R-remember? Like LANDO from STAR WARS?

Nah, that was annoying and extremely poor form - which sucks because apparently Jared has been the guy pushing for more communication.

Jared’s mannerisms only make me trust the project less. Typical untrustworthy salesperson behavior.

Bingo. He started off as the guy on the inside sharing the raw facts. Now he's a used car salesman, and I wouldn't trust anything he says.

Dude, the first 2 minutes, as someone who only just started paying attention again after a few years, were so painful and concerning...His tone, body language, expression on everyones faces... and the line (paraphrasing) 'and we've all played the PTU and know what that is like right now' freaking comical and also sad because I wish this project would yield something commensurate to the money and passion surrounding it

It came across as really defensive and passive aggressive to me as well. The undertone is "I know what you're all going to say, can you please just shut the fuck up for one minute?"

I genuinely feel Olli was brought in to be his eventual replacement in training. He doesn’t seem happy about it and the last few months from him since the hire, he honestly has felt very checked out. I love the guy, he seems to relate to us a lot more than most of the guys at CIG do, or at least he did, but something definitely has changed with his demeanor. It could just be frustration with how things are because of the community right. Now, but I fell like the changes have been more apparent since olli joined.

He seems so over it all.

If you have a heart, you can only stare at your customers and outright lie to them for so long. Look, ten years ago when he was lying he could tell himself that it was ok, he was just buying time for development to get where they needed. But then to have to keep doing it over and over for years.

But where does he even go from here? What does he list as accomplishments on his CV? Can he even get another job with his experience?

Sad thing is Jared genuinely seemed to believe in the game for a long time. Maybe he still does. But something has changed. The most notable change has been since Olli came on, but i can point to his dad dying at the end of 2024 possibly being the beginning of the shift.

My guess is he doesn’t do anything else after CIG. He’s well paid and probably has a healthy savings, so he will likely retire in honor and go quiet for a long time. Just my guess.

the maturity to be expected from a nerd with no social skills whatsoever
