Working alongside content management staff has got to be a tall order, especially for a game like Star Citizen. Even so, it would appear that CIG's recently hired member of the team, a YouTuber by the name of Olli, has officially left the post in what reads like an amicable split.

I don’t really follow the Star Citizen drama too closely but I’m surprised he lasted that long. This is the same Olli who was dunked on throughout and ultimately thrown under the bus during the infamously disastrous livestream presentation they did. From the outside looking in, Olli seems like a reasonable and personable fellow and CIG may just be a toxic hellhole, or at least has a handful of toxic personalities in high positions and that’s why they all didn’t seem to get along very well, but even if it’s for less blatant reasons I think it’s pretty clear he was a poor fit for the organization and he’s probably better off having nothing official to do with them going forward.
My understanding is before he got the job he was extremely committed to promoting PR messaging from CIG.
You reap what you sow and all that…
Yes, it was a big PR disaster, CIG have always been pretty shit at coms.
I quite liked Ollie43’s content and I enjoy playing the game every now and then.
Whoever planned that event made a grave error that level cant be played in that time… it simply cant be done.
Also lacking any moderation and not managing expectations was utterly idiotic.
If he was responsible for planning or moderation…its his fault.
Bonus points for upcoming interviews when the interviewers share their compassion for him having had to endure that experience.
