Cloud Imperium Games (Star Citizen) has laid off staff without any compensation

There's tension once again at Cloud Imperium Games. The studio responsible for Star Citizen was recently hit by some arbitrary layoffs, to say the least.

According to Gill Eadesseo, a former employee of the company, Cloud Imperium Games laid off people just after CitizenCon, which took place in October. Some of the were fired "with zero compensation right after working them to the bone without even much as a thanks". There's an official announcement expected soon.

According to Insdier Gaming, the dismissals affected mainly QA testers. Again according to the site, this is not a large-scale plan, since it concerns a dozen people or so. However, there are further departures coming soon.
