Crytek reminds me of a post-Quake Id Software. They seem to be a game engine developer masquerading as a game developer. They make great engines, but their games often seem like glorified tech demos.

How so? Their plot may have been completely mediocre (as they are wont to do), but when Crysis 1 launched, it remained the standard bearer for quite some time as far as graphics go.
I remember reading somewhere that many of Crytek's employees are from Rare. So maybe those people can return back to Rare and make good games again.
Ultimately, they really haven't made many good games and that's what happens I guess.
But I hope they're being overdramatic
Homefront Revolution certainly looks interesting and I'm also looking forward to seeing what Vigil (now Crytek USA) are up to, I know they've announced something, but I don't think there were many useful details
My real concern is Star Citizen. That game is based on the CryEngine, so I have no idea what would happen if Crytek went under

I'm not knocking Crysis, I'm saying keeping Crysis exclusive to PC would not have saved them.

Sounds like their games are just subpar to what a real, AAA title should be. They did themselves in.
1. I am sad for those who might lose their job.
2. I am really happy because a loudmouth good for nothing company is going bankrupt.

At first I thought Crytek was Geniune and Loved me for who I was but then she sold out and I realised she was just a shallow gold digger. Pretty yes, but a horrible shallow whore who the whole football team smashed when she got popular at the Dance that I took her to!

Can't say i'd miss them much, their games really weren't very good. I'll always respect how talented they were with tech, but as a game studio they were mediocre at best.
