800 employees
nobody wants their engine
recent games didn't sell well (cause those are crap games)
not much interest in their F2P games (again, they suck)
G-face flop
no more military contracts
MS wants Ryse IP to allow them to work sequel

no, no nonononononno

I honestly dont see how anyone on earth thought Ryse was a good idea. And Wargaming? Hahaha. First their games got published by those shittossers from EA and Microsoft and now they are getting owned by Wargaming. Man, Crytek was screwed long ago. Working with/for litterally some of the worst companies in the gamingindustry.

Crytek new IP: World of Tears

Only sad about CryEngine not selling well (although at that price it would be surprising if it did), it sucks if the indies that bought it lose support. Rest of the article had me grinning from ear to ear.

Do you have 1500 renown ? No. Do you have 500 renown ? No.

I can't believe crytek seriously sold themselves out, went from making crysis 1 to cod clones, console games and f2p, and are in financial trouble. how does that make any sense, how is that possible.

And even tho I couldn't give a monkey about crytek as a developer anymore the cryengine is awesome. so this is bad news, I wanted to see more games like archage, star citizen.

the sub for engine might suck but there is a FREE version for non financial games, and project reality standalone was being made with it.

Crytek as a game developer crashing doesn't bother me too much - for some time now there was the prediction that the gaming market will crash like in 198something, this might be a foreshadow of this.

It would be a shame for the engine though, because many different game engines being in competition will help indie developers, and the indies, with their cheap production costs and high creativity, will be the one that shine when the AAA gaming market really collapses.

Back to shit graphics for all games again.
