Serious Sunday: Who cries for Crytek? - Staff quitting, possible bankruptcy, the future of Cryengine
7This Serious Sunday: December 18th, 2016, we check in once again with Crytek and some alarming news that reports that Crytek staff are not receiving their salaries on time or at all for as much as a half year now tells a tale of a massive problem at the giant German video game engine developer. With employeed quitting and even threatening legal action, underperformance of the CryEngine, the shift from paid to free distribution and problems aplenty, things are looking grim.
Luke discusses the potential wide-reaching consequences of possible bankruptcy for crytek, and the uncertain future of the CryEngine, how it might affect other game developers using the engine around the industry, and what, as a consumer, to expect if Crytek does go bust.

Serious Sunday is a freeform roundtable discussion between the members of the Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
