Rumor: Cloud Imperium Games studio carried out mass layoffs

Journalist Tom Henderson, citing an unnamed former employee of Cloud Imperium Games, stated that the studio carried out mass layoffs immediately after the end of the Citizencon festival.

The actual scale of layoffs in the company is unknown, but Henderson mentions that his sources confirmed that the layoffs were massive. However, some data indicate that the layoffs mainly affected the QA department, and only twelve people were laid off in total.

Star Citizen, the company’s main project, still does not have a clear release date. It is known that the project’s budget has exceeded the $700 million mark.
