GameStar: Crytek in Financial Trouble [Jun 22, 2014, 11:43 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
German site
GameStar.de reports (in German) that German developer Crytek is in financial
trouble, and may be facing bankruptcy. Most of the story is behind a paywall,
though we can see they say that the company secured additional funding in April,
but there are questions about how long they will remain viable.
DSOGaming summarizes more from the story in English, saying the recently
released new version of CryENGINE is not selling well, that development of Ryse
was catastrophic, and that there have been delays in making payroll for the 800
employee company.

I just played all the Crysis games this year and the first Crysis still looks amazing. Crytek can develop amazing graphics, they just need a awesome story to go with it.
I've been playing through the first this year also (never played it at the time) and hats off, even considering the age of it, it's an amazing looking game to behold. I don't like saying "best ever!!!" but those jungles are pretty astonishing. Yet to try the others, but am aware of the negativity surrounding them.
