"Die Geier kreisen über Crytek" -> "Los buitres sobrevuelan Crytek."
•Crytek got financial problems
•there are working over 800 employees
•Microsoft and Crytek talked about Ryse 2, but yet it is not in development, because microsoft wants the trademark and crytek don't want to give it up
•Reasons for the problems: Free-2-Play & Cryengine not work as well as expected, crysis 3 and ryse aren't big sellers etc.
•they got saved for now but maybe not forever
Traducción:
*Problemas financieros.
*Más de 800 empleados en plantilla.
*Microsoft quiere la IP de Ryse, pero Crytek no quiere darsela.
*Ni los F2P ni Cryengine, ni Crysis 3, ni Ryse están funcionando bien.
*De momento están a salvo, pero se van a dar la hostia inminente.
Ahora, cosillas por parte de algunos empleados descontentos que salen a la luz.
*Salaries are paid late and leading employees are sending applications to other studios at home and abroad
*Warface doesn't work outside of Russia, other attempts at F2P were unsuccessful
*G-face was a flop
*The development of Ryse was catastrophic: mere months before release, the title was severely behind, only with additional manpower they were able to finish it
*Disagreements with MS over the ownership of Ryse's IP could be a red flag for other publishers
*Adoption of CryEngine not going as planned, word-of-mouth at GDC was negative
*Too many employees, burn-rate too high (3-5 M euro).
*"The vultures are already circling," says a leading representative for a major publisher.
*Big publishers are not interested in buying outright,would rather wait for bankruptcy, sign the talent and shop the IPs.
*Belarusian Free2Play giant Wargaming is listed as a possible buyer of Crytek
- Avni Yerli says a cash injection for the company is finally imminent. The contract has not been signed yet, but is as good as in the bag. "It's not all great. Our transition to Free2Play studio was not painless. But that is now behind us, "he concludes.
Que traducido se queda en:
*Desbandada general por impago y cuando estos se realizan suele ser con retraso
*Warface es un fracaso
*G-face idem.
*Con Ryse tuvieron que tirar de gente ajena a la empresa para llegar a tiempo
*Microsoft quiere Ryse, ellos no ceden.
*El Cryengine.
*Demasiados empleados.
*"Los buitres ya están dando vueltas".
*Las grandes editoriales no están interesados en la compra directamente, prefieren esperar a la quiebra, fichar a los talentos y comprar las IPs.
*Wargaming aparece como un posible comprador de Crytek.
*Avni Yerli dice una inyección de efectivo para la empresa es casi inminente.
Bien, a discutir esto hermanos.
