Turbulent acquired by Cloud Imperium Games
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.
One thing of note from the announcement:
With Turbulent as part of the CIG group of companies, our headcount will be over 1,100, making us one of the largest independent game developers in the world!
It's pretty insane to think how large CIG has gotten over the years. It makes sense to bring in Turbulent now. If everyone remembers correctly, they had spun up a team to make PU content last year, and many of us didn't really understand why that work would happen "out-of-house".
I know that opinions have always been varied about the CIG website and Spectrum, but personally I think Turbulent has a lot of good talent. Whether they are just contracted out or owned by CIG doesn't make a lot of difference, but at least now we know their talent will be dedicated to the project and not split working on other things.
