I posted this on the official Discord May 15th talking about how important it is for Relic to address the community more often:
"Seriously, your jobs are on the line and you sit in your ivory towers watching the peons eat the last grain and leave the town? Cant spare 15 minutes a week".
Then today I posted:
"121 people layed off. Man I wish I was wrong more often. It is a curse."
I keep thinking that working at Relic must be fun and laid back. But if it is so good there, why doesn't someone stand up and say "Hey guys, Coh3 is going to fail if we keep doing this. Maybe we should do this?". People are either too afraid to do it or management is too dumb to accept good ideas. Either way it doesn't sound like a good place to work.
Its like being a bartender on a train watching the conductor drive the train off a bridge and saying nothing.
This is all easier said than done. I've worked at a couple companies that were dysfunctional. When the management thinks they're doing a great job but are not, you're really better off saying nothing, doing your assignments as best you can, and looking for a job while watching the managers mismanage the company into oblivion.
Relic still has 300 or so employees. That still seems like an awful lot for maintenance releases. If pushing updates through Steam is as easy as it looks, I'd bet my PMP certification that a competent project manager could get the game fixed in a couple months with about 1/4 of those 300 employees.
