In the grand scheme–a great way to get fired. Who would want to get fired from their dream job?! Or, and not to get too tinfoilly, wonder to yourself a few things. Do you think Jared has seen enough stuff that if he were to talk with a journalist or allowed to post on Reddit with no restrictions that it would have an impact on shitizen confidence? Back in 2014, CIG was writing some fairly large checks to folks in Austin that were shown the door. The checks came with a fat legal document that boiled down to “say only nice things about all things Star Citizen or pay the money back.”.
If you knew the shitball rolling down hill was just getting bigger and faster–do you want to stick around until the shitball comes to a crashing halt? Or maybe jump off before the ride ends? And if you wanted to jump off, wouldn’t it be nice to have a stack of cash to cushion that landing?
Total fantasy. But viable. If the writing is indeed on the wall, might as well exit stage left while the theatre is still standing, especially if you are given a fat check at the door to keep your mouth shut. Thirty-eight jobs Jared mentioned having? He is, what 45 to 50? That is more than a job a year. My hunch is that not only is Jared excellent at finding work, but he is just as good at getting un-hired.
