It seems like MS wanted to buy everyone at some point.
Those employees really need to get this sorted out ASAP because when Crytek goes under that money could very well disappear.

The days when money really wasn't an matter of concern to the Xbox division.

Sorry for the bump, but were there any updates on Crytek after all this nonsense happened last year? Did they dramatically slash the size of their company? Did we find out where the mystery cash injection came from? Are they working on any new games, or are all their eggs in the engine/Hunt/Arena baskets? I'm sure they earned a tidy amount of money from selling Homefront/Crytek UK, but if they're still 400-500 employees they'll still have a massive outlay in just salaries each month.

Thanks dude. I'd find it interesting if Kotaku/Schreier did a follow-up, maybe as a 'one year later' article, to see how they're doing now they've slimmed down a bit and what their plans are for the future of the company (and whether they're prepared for Arena of Fate to fail horribly).
If I were Yerli, I'd sell Ryse to MS on the condition that Crytek develop the sequel, and see if anyone's interested in Crysis - maybe Sony or EA. They're obviously not going to do anything with either brand any time soon.
